I also read something earlier that the worm attacked PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) programs. Don't know if you're familiar with PLCs. They probably control 90% of automated systems, worldwide. Of course, Siemens is one of many manufacturers of PLCs.
Lots a speculation...
I’m quite familiar with PLCs; my employer makes some.
” the worm attacked PLC”
The water company I operate runs by PLC!
