Iranian Hackers Targeted Los Angeles Transit System

Cybersecurity researchers have attributed a significant data breach affecting Los Angeles's transit infrastructure to Iranian state-sponsored hackers. The attack was linked to 'Ababil of Minab,' a persona claiming responsibility for multiple data breaches since the outbreak of conflict in Iran. According to an Israeli cybersecurity firm's investigation, the breach caused weeks of operational disruption to the transit system. The incident highlights growing concerns about state-sponsored cyber attacks targeting critical infrastructure. Indian organizations should strengthen their defenses against similar threats targeting transportation and essential services. Source: Reuters.
