Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority (WMATA) Inspector General Geoff Cherrington said in an interview on Monday that Washington D.C.'s transportation system is at a higher risk of cybersecurity attacks.

"Any transportation system in any city can be vulnerable, but in particular in D.C., as you know, there's a lot of targets," Cherrington told The Hill. "Anytime that any part of a network is attached to anything, particularly a rail car, and can be controlled outside of the WMATA system, it could be potentially a threat."

The Metro has vowed to hire additional cybersecurity personnel to ensure that proper procedures and precautions are put in place to deal with cybersecurity.
