“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. “
