The company I work for decided to farm out some of its PLC programming to India for no good reason . They just serve as a middle man because they retained the PLC engineers on site as well. Sometimes cause more trouble than it’s worth. |

If the PLC is dumping data to PI or other historian for remote monitoring systems to use then there is a interface from the PLC to the network either synchronously or asynchronously. PLC data is very often used outside the collection point because data from multiple PLCs is often need for other processes/people to make decisions. But I agree, things aren't what they seem. Backups, DRP? rebuild if it really was hacked...due to the amount of downtime, I'd say not hacked, but intentional.
