On December 23, 2024, Pittsburgh Regional Transit experienced a ransomware attack that caused considerable disruptions to its transportation services. The incident was promptly addressed with an investigation, law enforcement notification, and the expertise of cybersecurity professionals. Although there was a temporary suspension of rail services on Thursday morning, operations have since returned to normal. Nonetheless, certain rider services like the PRT Customer Service Center remained affected with an inability to manage Senior and Kid's ConnectCards. The extent of data compromise, if any, remains undetermined, and the identity of the cyber attackers or ransomware gang responsible for the incident has not been disclosed.
