Trends and status symbols are stupid, but I’ll always choose all-metal machines over ones with plastic parts. Things are being made with critical, stress-bearing plastic parts that predictably fail early and it’s infuriating.

(I realize this is about plastic-free pods, which are also trendy and stupid. I’m willing to bet that the machines that use them have critical, stress-bearing plastic parts inside.)

It could be a copycat or even just a bored kid seeing what they can do. If the first attack was successful but none of the rest of the vulnerable systems were patched, further attacks are inevitable. The pattern is just that known exploits will be exploited given enough time and bad actors.
