Iranian hackers responsible for LA transit breach, security firm says
Iranian hackers were behind a March cyberattack that disrupted Los Angeles’ transit system and forced parts of its network offline, Gambit Security firm said on Tuesday, according to Reuters.
The Tel Aviv-based cybersecurity firm said the hackers stole at least 700 gigabytes of emails, backups and other files from the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority.
The company said it found the data after it was inadvertently exposed online and traced the server to a hacking operation previously attributed to Tehran by Israeli officials and researchers.
Iran’s mission to the United Nations did not respond to Reuters' requests for comment.
