Comment on MS-DOS and Windows 3.11 still run train dashboards at German railway (Jan'24)parent

Invitation to what? Travel to Germany in person, break into train depot and try to sneak infected floppies in? No remote ports listening on DOS/Win3.11 boxes.

It might. I'd wage a TCP/IP stack is installed: https://winworldpc.com/product/microsoft-tcp-ip-32/tcpip-32-...

But the value in malware is not having a single system crash, but having a worm spread. I would assume these systems are directly connected to whatever system feeds them and not to anything else, to mitigate risk.
