Die Hard 4 was about shutting down government infastructure, wasn't it? So in a way, yes, because certain infastructure (a good example would be traffic control) would be controlled by an automation system of some kind, most likely a Distributed Control System.
This one specifically targets industrial automation systems. For example, on the project I am working we have a general plant automation system (let's call it SPIC) and a more stringent, safety- related automation (lets call it KELS), both of which are running as Distributed Control Systems, albeit each one is seperate and different. We also have a general plant data network, which is all of the ethernet, VOIP, and other "administrative" automation stuff. SPIC and KELS would be the industrial automation stuff which a worm like this might attack.
