Incident date

North Carolina Ports said all three facilities would return to normal gate schedules on August 6, 2026, but its IT team was still assessing affected systems and restoring services and delays remained expected. The update follows an August 4 cyberattack that delayed gates statewide and forced manual processing in Wilmington. The breach was contained, but the authority had not announced full restoration or identified ransomware, a responsible actor, sensitive-data compromise or operational-technology impact.
