Few years ago there was a story in a local paper about building automation systems running on Commadore 64 and still doing fine. Build by some company in the 80’s. They weren’t online, so no security issues.

Tried to find the article online but no luck. It would have been in local language anyway.

Even if they was online, I doubt a lot of people have the knowledge for hack a commodore 64.

I’d imagine it would have been some gprs-modem through an adapter for sms notifications, that was added afterwards in the 90’s
