The original source[1] claims that the casino did take some precautions (a VPN) but still doesn't clearly explain how the failure occurred: "A North American casino recently installed a high-tech fish tank as a new attraction, with advanced sensors that automatically regulate temperature, salinity, and feeding schedules. To ensure these communications remained separate from the commercial network, the casino configured the tank to use an individual VPN to isolate the tank's data. However, as soon as Darktrace was installed, it identified anomalous data transfers from the fish tank to a rare external destination. Communications took place on a protocol normally associated with audio and video."
