simple hacking

"All of these deaths, in the simulation, were caused by simple hacking"

Something which apparently takes out things which aren't network connected such as refrigitation and HVAC(*) systems is far from 'simple hacking', as it would have had to take out the electrical and water supplies.

(* Although generally digitally controlled, such systems are rarely ever network connected)
