"Google, Microsoft: Russian Threat Actors Pose High Risk to 2024 Paris Olympics"
Google and Microsoft warn of increased cyber threats, especially from Russia, to the 2024 Paris Olympics. Google Cloud's Mandiant cybersecurity team warns of espionage, disruption, destruction, hacktivism, influence, and financial threats to the 2024 Paris Olympics. Olympics-related cyber threats could impact event organizers, sponsors, ticketing systems, Paris infrastructure, athletes, and spectators. Mandiant warns that Russian threat groups pose a major threat to the Olympics, while state-sponsored actors from China, Iran, and North Korea pose a moderate to low risk. Cyber espionage groups may target government officials and decision-makers attending the 2024 Olympics, while threat actors focused on destruction and disruption may launch Distributed Denial-of-Service (DDoS) attacks, wiper malware, and more to cause psychological and reputational damage. This article continues to discuss cyber threats facing the 2024 Paris Olympics.
