Auckland Transport

The Auckland Transport (AT) transport authority in New Zealand is coping with a widespread outage brought on by a cyber incident, impacting a wide range of customer services.

The business announced today that a cyber intrusion has affected some of its network and is causing problems with its HOP services.

An AT spokeswoman told the New Zealand Herald that the company has evidence that it was the target of ransomware, but added that further investigation is needed.

Patience is advised as the organisation gradually repairs the impacted systems. AT's website and HOP services may resume regular operations early next week.
