And they could be hit, as long as they're network connected, as long as they have some kind of systems that interact with them that could be manipulated from internet connection.

But it is the smaller cases of hacking on normal people and businesses that don't get given the same type of focus. If each and every cyber crime case were given the same amount of attention as this one, then the world would be a safer place for us normal users.
