Operations disrupted after Port of Seattle cyberattack

“The Port of Seattle, one of the busiest ports in the U.S. and responsible for managing the Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, experienced a cyberattack on Saturday. This incident forced the government agency to shut down its systems to mitigate the impact.“

“The Port's official account on X (formerly Twitter) announced on Saturday afternoon that the port experienced system outages, signaling a potential cyberattack. In response, critical systems were isolated, and efforts are ongoing to restore full service. However, there is no estimated timeline for when operations will return to normal. “

“As a result of the attack, the phone systems at the Port's Maritime Facilities were reported down on Saturday. Additionally, the websites for the Port and the airport, along with email and phone services for Port staff, were also affected. “
