There are a lot of comments on the situation itself, or the companies involved when these type of events happen. Speaking of evolutionary behavior as a whole, why does the industry still keep driving towards IoT / IaaS when events like these are becoming more common? Is there real risk analysis going on that determines that putting crucial operational infrastructure in the hands of a vendor is worth the consequences? I know this particular event is related to a consumer product, but consider how a lot of businesses work. Once a solid system is built, there's no reason to change it - hence the abundance of legacy systems in finance etc.
It makes me feel like these things could eventually go full-circle and companies will value owning their own datacenters. It may also make more financial sense for companies that have recently realized a lot of savings in office space leasing that they could pivot into infrastructure.
