Hackers with suspected China ties breached MTA servers in April
NY Post
Hackers with possible ties to the Chinese government breached three of the MTA’s computer systems earlier this year, transit officials said Wednesday.
The breach occurred on two separate days in the second week of April and continued unchecked until being discovered on April 20, officials said. Hackers did not access systems related to train operations, safety or customer or employee information, the MTA said. The authority “quickly and aggressively responded to this attack,” MTA Chief Technology Officer Rafail Portnoy said in a statement. An outside audit “found no evidence operational systems were impacted, no employee or customer information breached, no data loss and no changes to our vital systems,” Portnoy said.More Related News

Imagine that in the same hour, strikes eliminated Hitler’s designated successor, the head of the German Armed Forces High Command, the chief operational planner of the war effort, Field Marshal Erwin Rommel, responsible for defending Western Europe, and the rest of Germany’s field marshals and senior commanders.
