Fomenting chaos, one fridge at a time. Because in year 4 of a full scale war there are no more valuable targets than fridges. There's nothing else that might contribute to issues like that, like unnecessary internet-connected devices in domains without any IT knowledge, an influx of "hacking" incidents due to LLMs getting better at cyber at an alarming rate, and somehow still the most basic security not getting implemented.
