Iran-Linked Hackers Breach LA Transit

Iran-Linked Hackers Breach LA Transit

Published 1 week, 5 days ago
Description

Israeli researchers are accusing an Iranian state-backed hacking group of pulling off a massive data breach that hit Los Angeles County’s transit system, stealing 700 gigabytes of sensitive data—including emails and backups—that disrupted behind-the-scenes operations like arrival screens and customer transactions. The breach was uncovered by Tel Aviv-based cybersecurity firm Gambit Security, which linked the attack to a Tehran-linked group, with a pro-Iranian hacker collective claiming responsibility and even releasing a video of the intrusion—raising serious alarms about the vulnerability of critical infrastructure in the digital age.
