Nitpick: The article writes like 'SCADA' is a product from a single vendor. It's not. It's just an acronym for Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition, of which PLC's/DCS's/RTU's/PC's make up as a full system. SCADA didn't play a role in Stuxnet; Siemens PLC's (and a lot of specific know-how) did.

- objclxt 15y agoI'm not entirely sure that's what they're saying: the original post simply says "they [the engineering team] had added a new video system that ran over IP". I would be somewhat surprised if that "new video system" was the IFE system. It's more likely to be something flight deck related. I say this with some knowledge of working in that industry and understanding how the two biggest IFE systems manufacturers install their gear.
