I was expecting some malicious code like "knock 3 times on this door to enter, otherwise the door locks for good". No. Instead it was "if you're geographically parked at our competitor's lat/long then we'll brick the train".
There's ways to add back doors and other fun easter eggs in code, but wow they picked a really cumbersome and obvious method of exploitation.

I mean, I'm Polish and worked for such people in the past. The statement reeks of an approach to business that I wish went extinct already, but apparently you still see pockets of it here and there.
