    A UPS is just a battery.

    Something something tech illiteracy.

    If the UPS monitoring is plugged in via USB that’s all the attack vector needed. Good chance they had ethernet as well.

      That would actually be easy to overlook in a large data center too. Those are not just batteries. There are at least some controls in it to report to monitoring and also to make all that abnoxious noise.
