The Port of Seattle, operator of the Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, was targeted by a ransomware attack orchestrated by the Rhysida group in August 2024. The attack resulted in significant disruptions to internet, website, email, phone services, and key operational systems like baggage handling, check-in kiosks, and ticketing. Over 7,000 passengers' bags were affected, causing substantial inconvenience and travel delays. The Port refused to pay the ransom, leading to potential risks of leaked data. In response, crucial systems were isolated, and measures have been taken to enhance security and operations while investigations continue.
