You are, of course, referring to Alstom and Siemens.

"A slap in the face is more effective than ten lectures. It makes you understand very quickly." —Leopold van Sacher-Masoch

Siemens received the slap in the form of Stuxnet. Industrial controls and transport are not the same business unit, but enough of the message got around internally.

I firmly believe Alstom would not be making such garbage today, at least not from a cybersecurity perspective, had this merger gone ahead. And, let's say, I know quite well exactly what type of hot garbage they unfortunately continue to make.

It's a shame.
