“The transit authority said it's investigating a ransomware attack that briefly caused disruptions to the city's public transportation system. “

“The ransomware attack, which was first detected on Dec. 19 according to a news release from Pittsburgh Regional Transit, caused temporary disruptions to rail service.“

“Local news service WPXI Channel 11 originally reported that an internet outage was causing the city’s T rail cars to be delayed by 20 minutes, and several of the transit authority’s systems to go offline. However, by Monday, the city identified the disruption as a cybersecurity incident, and shared that transit services had returned to normal operations.“
