Newsday: LIRR wasn't affected by cyberattack, railroad president says, but he warns of others
June 3, 2021
The Long Island Rail Road was not impacted by an April cyberattack of the MTA’s computer systems, but future attacks could be on the way, the LIRR’s president said Thursday...
Despite MTA officials’ assurances, Rep. Andrew Garbarino (R-Bayport) on Thursday chided the agency for failing to "provide information on what portion of MTA’s systems were compromised and how that might affect riders."
"The fact that they failed to disclose this attack is deeply concerning," Garbarino said. "Millions of New Yorkers use MTA services every day and they deserve to know if they or their personal information is at risk."
