The upcoming Paris Olympics are facing a serious threat: cyberattacks. Experts believe that hackers, possibly from Russia, are planning to disrupt the games. These attacks could target the main Olympic organizers, but also smaller businesses like hotels and restaurants involved in the event.
Past Olympics have been hit by cyberattacks, with hackers causing problems like shutting down ticket systems and Wi-Fi. This time, organizers and governments are working together to protect the games, but they admit that it’s impossible to be completely safe.
Even though there have been some practice attacks, like hacking a sports minister’s social media account and creating fake ticket websites, everyone is worried about what might happen during the actual Olympics.
It’s a big challenge to protect such a large event, and while there’s a lot of effort to stop cyberattacks, no one can guarantee complete safety.
