A dark web ransomware site claims to have stolen user data following a cyber attack on Auckland Transport.

The transport agency's ticket payment system was temporarily shut down following last week's attack, and hacker group Medusa is demanding a ransom.

Darkscope technical director Joerg Buss says there's no indication that the group found any personal information at this point.

"We haven't found any indication that they really found personal information or anything like that- and some of these groups are really good at bluffing."
