A suspected cyberattack that began on August 24, 2024, has caused widespread disruptions at the Port of Seattle, significantly impacting operations at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (SeaTac). The attack led to major outages of online systems, affecting flight check-ins, baggage handling, and other essential services, forcing staff to manually process passenger information. Thousands of travelers experienced long delays, missed flights, and difficulties rebooking due to the outage. As of August 25, the systems remain down, with ongoing efforts to restore normal operations, though no timeline has been provided.
