Paris Olympics Under Cyber Siege: Can France Fend Off Hacker Havoc?
Cybersecurity experts are bracing for a wave of cyberattacks during the Paris Olympics, with Russia-affiliated hackers suspected behind early efforts.

Looks like the Paris Olympics are about to become a hacker’s version of the Tour de France—complete with cyber sprints and digital mountain stages! I guess the organizers are hoping to avoid a ‘Tour de Farce’ situation.
Key Points:
- Paris Olympics bracing for cyberattacks, with some already underway.
- Russia-affiliated hackers are the prime suspects.
- 500 companies and organizations identified as critical to Olympic operations.
