— Daily Freeman (@DailyFreeman) August 26, 2024
the Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (Sea-Tac) has been grappling with an apparent cyberattack, causing widespread internet outages and impacting critical systems for three consecutive days. The outages began early last Saturday, affecting several systems. While the full scale of the disruption hasn’t been publicly disclosed, the Port of Seattle’s websites, email, and phone systems were also affected. Airport officials confirmed that they believe it was a cyberattack, and they are working tirelessly to restore operations while minimizing traveler impact. TSA passenger screening processes remain unaffected, and federal agencies are collaborating on the investigation. However, there’s currently no estimated timeline for a full return to normal operations.
