Coast Guard says it is monitoring cyberattack that disrupted North Carolina’s ports

The U.S. Coast Guard and local authorities are investigating a cyberattack that disrupted gate operations at North Carolina’s three port facilities, forcing delays and manual processing while IT teams contain the intrusion. The Ports Authority activated its contingency plan and is coordinating with state and federal partners, but has not disclosed the attack vector, affected systems, or any attribution; normal operations were reported as resumed while investigations continue.
