The Israeli firm Gambit Security said that the cyber attack had the hallmarks of prior Iranian attacks
The Israeli firm Gambit Security said on Tuesday that a group tied to the Iranian regime carried out a cyber attack against the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority in March.
The Los Angeles Times reported in early April that a spokesman for the authority had confirmed the hack and said that it had “proactively limited employee access to many internal administrative computer systems after the agency’s security team discovered unauthorized activity.”
“Throughout this time, metro’s essential rail and bus service has continued to run uninterrupted, as have our vital transit safety and security systems,” the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority spokesman told the paper. (JNS sought comment from the authority.)
