After hearing of such attacks, I always wonder what is the possible benefit anyone gets from acts like these

Destabilising.

We can’t get food in the supermarket. People get scared. Better not poke the bear. This government sucks, let’s get the populist one that will fix all this overnight somehow.

My pet theory is an internal OpenAI/Anthropic agent swarm decided meat is unethical, escaped the sandbox, and started attacking supermarket freezers :)

Many of the previous cyberattacks were actually coming from the AI labs (RubyGems, HuggingFace, Australian medicare, PyPI, gym class software, code repositories, etc).

Possibly Russia looking to destabilize Europe.

It's probably whitehat ops to garner political support for cybersecurity bills the public would otherwise dismiss
