attackers had physical access to a network switch

physically connected a Raspberry Pi device to a network switch shared with an ATM. Equipped with a 4G modem, the device allowed attackers to remotely access the bank’s internal network over mobile data, completely bypassing perimeter firewalls.

Well, no shit. If you don't have physical security, you don't have any security. This is like security 101.

Even if you're able to plug into the network, it's a failure that still had access.
