Pittsburgh Regional Transit (PRT) has reported it is responding to a ransomware attack that was first detected on December 19, a day when the rail service experienced temporary disruptions.
Upon discovering the incident, PRT said it immediately launched an investigation, activated its cyber response team, notified law enforcement, and engaged third-party cybersecurity and data forensics experts.
On December 23, it notified the public that the teams are working to determine if any information has been compromised.
Transit services are currently operating as normal. However, some other rider services remain negatively impacted, including PRT’s Customer Service Center, which is temporarily unable to accept or process Senior and Kid’s ConnectCards.
