The Seattle-Tacoma International Airport was hit by an apparent cyberattack over the weekend, which has caused major internet outages affecting the airport's phones, email, and other systems.

Port of Seattle officials are continuing to work on Monday to restore the airport's systems, which is the third day that the airport has been impacted by the attack. The airport has encouraged travelers to use their mobile phones to get their boarding passes, and to allow extra time at the airport to get to their gates.

“We’re working around the clock to get necessary systems back online and to mitigate impacts to our passengers,” the airport’s aviation managing director Lance Lyttle said in a press conference on Sunday.

It is not clear who is behind the suspected cyberattack.

While the FBI/DOJ is chasing down J6 Defendants and arresting Grandmas for praying, our infrastructure is being attacked by only God knows who.

I've noticed these attacks are becoming more and more frequent. If they can't protect city government computers, hospital systems, or airports, how can they insist that our election systems are secure.

They have reassigned two agents from the 1,000 agent J6 task force to form a study committee about the hacker problems and get back with a white paper in 2 years.

Excellent point.

This should be repeated to all the Dems and others.
They’ll be having their propagandit campaigners (”the media”) give BS daily that “our election system is completely secure, in fact the most secure its have ever been.”) Lies.
