The term automata generally refers to a computing device that follows a predetermined sequence of operations automatically. This makes computers exceedingly useful in factory automation, electronic component production, pharmaceutical production, chemical processing, etc. Explain how a malicious actor with knowledge of automata could alter the function of the systems leading to improperly made products or even catastrophic failure. Support your rationale.
