The cybercriminals behind the Port of Seattle's ransomware attack demanded 100 bitcoins, alleging they possess sensitive documents, including personal identifiable information like Social Security numbers.
In a clear stance against extortion, the Port of Seattle has refused to pay the ransom, fearing that this may incite the attackers to release their stolen data online.
The ransomware group Rhysida has been attributed to this attack and has emerged as a prominent threat, targeting numerous entities, primarily in the United States.
The Port of Seattle is conducting an ongoing investigation to understand the extent of the breach, emphasizing the complexity of assessing the stolen data and its potential impacts.
