- Date: 2024-08-24
- Location: Seattle, Washington, USA
- Type: Ransomware
- Sector: Airport

Flight and baggage display boards around Seattle-Tacoma International Airport were disrupted when a ransomware attack starting August 24, 2024 took down internet and web systems at the Port of Seattle. Staff used dry-erase boards into the Labor Day weekend. The Port later confirmed Rhysida as the attacker, rejected the ransom demand, and believed sensitive data had been exfiltrated.
