As we've seen several shops were affected so it looks like the hackers got access via the Danfoss site.
There isn't any reason to believe that they got access via the Danfoss site. Again, the endpoints were accessible to the public internet. If they're accessible to the entirety of the public internet, that means the hackers had zero need to go through Danfoss's infrastructure.

Pretty easy to understand why they are internet connected. We're talking here about a lot of freezers in many shops, all supplied and controlled by Danfoss. Remotely controlling this without internet access is hardly possible.
Thank you for offering your security expertise, which absolutely explains why these endpoints needed to be accessible to the public internet. Like you said, it's "hardly possible" to just restrict connectivity from Danfoss's network only.

Last summer my local Tesco had the fridges break down because they were overloaded. If the managers could see that the staff continually leave the doors open then this problem would happen much less often.
what exactly are the store managers and their subordinates doing all day that they're not noticing staff leaving the fridge doors open continually?

It's also so far out of context that we can't know what he was responding to. We're also only getting one side of an argument. Someone was sad because their boss yelled at them, and they ran to crap website to complain. Why? We don't know and shouldn't assume anything based on what little there is.
The context is provided in the very first paragraph of the article. wtf are you talking about

Like, no shit? Is it really a big shock to people that Microsoft -- or any megacorp -- isn't doing more than the law requires?

A better law would actually be:
1) "the internet gets to be private and anonymous by default
2) "Deal with it."
