Sounds like Poland is going to have to nationalize a train manufacturer.
A faction other than the right would have to form a government.
I would not take this as proof. A third party company was being penalized significant fees because they were not meeting their contractual requirements to keep the trains running. Newag completely denies it suggesting maintenance makes up only 5 percent of their revenue. Also stated was that they controls have no connection to the internet which is a likely design requirement. Negating some of the claims.
Not suggesting they are not at fault but it appears multiple companies have a stake in this. There likely is no digital fingerprint on the PLC software modifications so if some devious code is found, would be hard to show who did it and when. There is possibilities to check all trains and if for example no faulty code was found on trains that were never maintained by company xyz, then that may create some suspicion on a different company. If code found on every train...
I wouldn't discount anything. Even Newag.
State-owned enterprises look better every day...
I think that's the point: that a state-owned operation wouldn't brick their own products because they're afraid of losing money
What is “brick”?
To render something as useful/active as a brick
For a second there I thought it was putting a brick on the track to derail the train.
Yes, but without derailing part
To make impossible to use, unresponsive.
To disable
Who's the manufacturer?
Newag
