“• “The MTA was breached by hackers in April, officials said.” • “…the MTA says the breach had zero impact on customers and a forensic audit found no evidence any accounts or compromised or any employee information was breached, but the hack has exposed vulnerabilities in our nation’s largest transportation network.” • “It’s suspected that this intrusion was result of what’s known as a ‘zero day,’ which is a vulnerability that has yet to be patched either from the software developer or the manufacturer. This is something that is is highly unusual to see in the hacker space,” • “Three of the MTA’s 18 systems were impacted.” • “…one week after the agency learned of the attack, officials raised concerns that hackers could have entered the operational systems which control train cars, or could penetrate the MTA computer systems through a back door.” “
