one featured a picture of President Biden pointing his finger, with an “I did that!” caption. the hosts of The Kilowatts tweeted a video showing it was possible to take control of an Electrify America station’s operating system. cracks could conceivably permit hackers to access vehicle data or consumers’ credit card information

CCS is is only supported through a PLC translation chip on the vehicle side or a rare Magic Dock adaptor, and only when one side is non-Tesla.

In the US, in Europe they have the CSS2 plug, and owners of other cars can use the Tesla App to charge at super chargers. (if we are talking globally not just NA)

ABB chargers in India

The do have superchargers there, but they aren't active due to the hang up of selling cars there. Would argue that Tesla operates a reliable charging network in more countries than any other charging network does currently.

Point is, shit is going to happen across the board for everyone

Yep, it just sounded like you were suggesting this was an EV thing or a Tesla thing.. It isn't everyone needs to do better at security.

Going back to the main topic. It seems odd that so many "dedicated" charging providers SUCK at being charging providers.
