    Ok, now I’m wondering how common this is. I’ve ran into this a few times at my local gas station the past month and when I asked about it they said it’s been doing it a bunch lately. Would be interesting if we find out there’s some sort of malware attack on gas station pumps, would be an easy way to shut down an area remotely to cause panic.

      Hard to say but generally Linux are more secure, 9 out of 10 times they’d have to be fucking with it from inside the company. More likely some kind of hardware fault causing them to reboot more often.
