Pittsburgh Regional Transit initially thought the disruption in rail services was a glitch, but soon discovered it was a ransomware attack, prompting an immediate investigation.
The agency activated its Cyber Incident Response Team and engaged third-party cybersecurity experts while notifying law enforcement about the ransomware attack.
Spokesman Adam Brandolph shared that the agency is limited in what it can disclose, but noted that they currently do not believe personal rider information has been compromised.
Brandolph acknowledged the uncertainty surrounding the attack, stating, 'We don't know if any information has been compromised; that is still under investigation.'
