In one dramatic example only recently shared by NSC staffer Tom Reed to Washington Post reporter David Hoffman, in the summer of 1982 rigged software triggered a huge explosion in the gigantic Siberian gas pipeline—an extremely expensive project designed to provide the USSR with essential hard currency. The software was designed to pass Soviet quality-acceptance tests, to work temporarily, and then to malfunction. The software that ran the pumps, turbines, and valves in the pipeline was programmed to produce pressures beyond the capacity of the pipeline’s joints.

And now we see the source of one of the main plot elements of Tom Clancy's Red Storm Rising -- except he used Muslim engineers to do it from a refinery's control room.

Cheers!

Actually William Casey wrote about this shortly before he died.
