Free public transit!

Fare gates and ticket machines were working again Sunday morning at city metro stops as the San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency works to determine whether a hacker disabled some of its computers systems, officials said.

Customers rode for free on Metro Light-Rail System trains all day Saturday after the message “You hacked” appeared on Muni agents’ computer screens and ticket machines were knocked out of service.

Is it just me, or is this like Skynet coming to life?

Wouldn't SkyNet be programmed with better grammar?

I dunno.

The list contains the names of 2,212 servers supposedly compromised by the hackers. If true, it could add more validity to the hackers’ demands for money so that they won’t dump thirty gigabytes of Muni’s internal data. The list contains servers with cryptic names like “BBYH382” but also includes servers like “PAYROLLHPDC7600,” “MUNIMAIL1,” “MUNIMAIL2,” as well as “QUICKBOOKS,” which likely refers to the popular accounting software. It’s unclear which—if any—of these servers have been accessed by the hackers. However, breaking into payroll, email, and accounting servers could mean that these hackers gained access to a massive amount of personal information.

I guess the controls for the trains themselves were on a different server? I would have been scared riding the Muni, knowing that some of their servers were already hacked.
