Flying through Seattle’s hacked airport

A suspected cyberattack against the Port of Seattle has disrupted Seattle-Tacoma International Airport’s public-facing and shared operational systems—affecting user-facing DNS, baggage handling, gate displays, and inter-airline communications—while safety-critical ATC and flight systems remained unaffected. The report highlights poor segmentation and resilience within airport IT, notes ongoing service disruptions with no restoration timeline, and warns that critical infrastructure remains vulnerable amid rising ransomware and phishing threats, though no technical details, IOCs, or attribution are provided.
