    “Port of Seattle, the U.S. government agency overseeing Seattle’s seaport and airport, is notifying roughly 90,000 individuals of a data breach after their personal information was stolen in an August 2024 ransomware attack.

    “The agency disclosed the attack on August 24, saying the resulting IT outage disrupted multiple services and systems, including reservation check-in systems, passenger display boards, the Port of Seattle website, the flySEA app, and delayed flights at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport.”

    …and it took them eight months to generate the individual mailers?

    I think Washington State needs some new laws about “Timely Disclosure”. I find it hard to believe that it took them EIGHT MONTHS to assess the damage and notify.
