Earlier quoted context omitted.

Eh, the sound system on the elevator being hooked up to the guest and entertainment network isn't really a sin in my eyes.

As long as it's segregated that way. Someone was able to gain access to their Dr's office's network by accessing the wifi-enabled fish tank thermometer. I forget if the details of how exactly they accessed it, but it was an example of an Internet of Things device making a security hole in a network.

Does that mean someone can hijack the stream and play some end of world audios?

Sounds possible, but you’ll have to deal with address contention. Play some good old Rammstein, to make your elevator journey more pleasant.

So either the elevator is on the same network, or they misconfigured the broadcast to all networks instead of the one needed. First one being much worse as it shows a failure to understand network segregation.
