Exactly what security is: you don't need it until you need it. Worth every penny to prioritize cyber security in this day and age, or this happens or worse

Very scary from WA. Flown from Seattle for 70 years. Seattle is a VERY IMPORTANT

Not long until everything is shut down….. they’ve had plenty of practice runs, with the power grids also! Be prepared as well as possible

My arriving international flight was held between runways for 1.5 hours Saturday evening. Captain said the software for gating flights was to blame. I felt so bad for the young couple with a toddler next to me.

But.... Minesweeper and Solitaire compatibility is the main principle to be maintained.

Audio quality of guest poor and volume too low.

It's weird that everything this happens to is.. a large representation of the type of enterprise that should be leading the way with technology that could prevent it...

Interesting wonder where those guys accents are from, those 2 guys that failed to stop a likely foreign attack on a major us airport. "And we helped them to the top and told them to take it down"

Your flight begins here. Horrible branding.

Remember that big airport outage that lasted days? Wait, that was just last month. Did they learn anything?

At S E A airport? This reporter new to Seattle?

the weak point is always People. Basically, this sounds like they're saying "It's not hard to protect against; Somebody screwed up."

[AKrn]

Wake up call to take action? Clueless.

someone typed PASSWORD and SeaTac is under cyberattack! Big a Bigger Police State!

“We move on and forget about this” quote is like January 6th for MAGAts.

remember world: it's just as easy to get into anything in the USM as it is SeaTAC. Remember that, Maduro. Remember that Putin. Remember that Houthis. Remember that Hamas. remember that Nk. Remember that China. Remember that Iran. Remember that Syria. Remember that Iraq. Remember that Sudan. Remember that Afghanistan. Remember what the US did and is doing. Remember the people who designed security for SeaTAC run this country.
