Port of Seattle hit by Rhysida ransomware in August attack

The Port of Seattle confirmed that a mid‑August cyberattack was a Rhysida ransomware incident that encrypted portions of its systems and caused outages across Seattle‑Tacoma International Airport services (check‑in, baggage systems, displays, website and mobile app); the Port isolated systems to contain the incident, has restored many services, will not pay the ransom, and faces the risk of stolen data being published. The report also contextualizes Rhysida as a RaaS operation with prior high‑profile victims.
