By: Tupaki Desk | 27 Aug 2024 10:24 AM GMTThe rise of technology reached a point where our lives revolve around it. Technology has become an internal part of our lives and we are dependent on it. The dependency is such that even a minor issue would mess up everything. As an example of this, everything went for a toss at a major airport.
Cyberattacks are on a rise and these attacks create obstacles often. Even the superpower nation America cannot escape this as a major airport was hit by a cyber attack and the services are yet to come to normal. The passengers are facing the heat of this.
The Seattle-Tacoma International Airport became the target of the cyber attack. It's been three days since the attack happened as the attack is said to have happened on Saturday.
Even three days after the attack things did not get back to normal leaving the passengers frustrated. With the cyber attack internet and phone services were shut during the weekend.
As per the reports, the Airport management got to know about the cyber attack after an unauthorised activity was spotted in a system. Hundreds of flights were delayed on weekends because of this. On Monday a few flights took off.
The officials requested the passengers to stand with them in the tough times and be ready for longer queues in the Airport than usual days.The Airport said that they are working hard on bringing the situation to normal and offering the best services to passengers is their motto.
Despite the massive cyber attack, there is no information on who did this and who is behind this. It is a big shock that an airport in the United States faced the heat of attack as everything came to a standstill almost.
