Russian hackers have started a cyber attack designed to last and interrupt regularly for the Olympic Games, according to security officials in Britain and the United States. The attack began before the 2020 Tokyo Olympics was postponed due to corona virus outbreak, and some senior International Olympic Committee served as primary goals.
Today was filed in the United States wrote An indictment against six Russian citizens, all past or present soldiers, wanted by the FBI.
They are suspected of a series of burglaries and disruptions of major events in the world in 2015-2019, including the French presidential election in 2017 and the 2018 Winter Olympics.
The Russians' desire to hurt the Olympics stems from feelings of revenge.
In Rio de Janeiro 2016, the participation of 111 Russian athletes was banned due to a complicated drug affair involving the Russian Ministry of Sports and the Olympic Committee.
Moreover, the Russian delegation to the 2018 Pyongyang Winter Olympics has been suspended and currently the Russian delegation to the Tokyo Games is also not allowed to participate.
Russian athletes who set an Olympic criterion will take part only under the banner of the International Olympic Committee.
About two years ago a series of computer hacks caused a disruption in the opening ceremony of the 2018 Winter Olympics. People who bought tickets could not print them and many seats in the stadium in Pyongyang were left empty.
Additional issues were discovered later in some of the competition sites.
