Yep.. linkbait title.

They had this though: "Heating and cooling providers can now monitor and adjust office temperatures remotely, and vending machine suppliers can see when their clients are out of Diet Cokes and Cheetos. Those vendors often don’t have the same security standards as their clients, but for business reasons they are allowed behind the firewall that protects a network."

I didn't think vending machines used the client network, but used the mobile phone network, thus only requiring electricity to install.
