San Francisco’s Municipal Transportation System has apparently been targeted by hackers over the Thanksgiving holiday weekend, the agency to shut down its light-rail ticketing machines and point-of-payment systems and allowing passengers to ride for free.
Agency computers displayed the message "You Hacked, ALL Data Encrypted", the San Francisco Examiner reported on Saturday.
According to the BBC, the hackers have made a ransom demand of 100 Bitcoin, which amounts to about $70,000 (£56,000).
