"Ransomware Attack Cripples Vancouver Public Transportation Agency"

A ransomware attack against TransLink, the public transportation agency for Vancouver, Canada, occurred on December 1st.  Vancouver residents could not use their Compass metro cards or pay for new tickets via the agency's Compass ticketing kiosks.  The company has not yet revealed the ransomware strain's name, the gange behind the breach, or what information was taken because they are still in the middle of a forensic investigation.  The attackers did have one of the agency's printers print out a ransom note, and based on the ransom's note, TransLink had its systems infected with a version of the Egregor ransomware.
