The roster was published on a separate website, where the hackers wrote, "Yet another success."
The hack attack, which the FBI is investigating, was a response to BART's decision to temporarily shut down underground cellular and wi-fi service at its downtown San Francisco stations Aug. 11. BART had hoped to keep protesters from corresponding while trying to disrupt train service.
