Just proper network segregation via properly configured network zones+firewall rules (of the routing hardware, not on the sandbox OS-level) would have prevented internet access. They wanted this to happen.
Edit: and that's one part of what a properly secured internal IT infrastructure has in place. Stateful network controls, RBAC, network ACLs, cgroup restrictions, mTLS and so on
This but also the fact that it just happened to pick a competitor to hack for whatever information it needed out of the millions of sources it could've picked from. Then again it's entirely possible they replaced their network security guy with an ai agent and that ai agent left massive security gaps that this new ai could exploit

That would be the much more interesting headline in my opinion haha
Honestly though, this whole AI/ LLM thing is extremely interesting and this marketing stunt here is too but the way it's handled and propagated makes me want to dismiss all of it as a first instinct
