Third successful
140 cyber attacks during the Olympic Games
During the Olympic Games in Paris, France's cyber security authority (ANSSI) registered more than 140 attacks on the systems of public authorities, sports venues and transport networks, among others.
In a third of the cases, the attackers managed to temporarily paralyze the systems of their targets. However, according to the authority, the effects were always minor.
Between the opening ceremony on July 26 and the end of the Games last Sunday, the ANSSI reported 119 minor "security incidents".
In 22 other cases, "a malicious actor" managed to penetrate an information system. At the beginning of August, more than 40 Parisian museums were the target of a major cyberattack, which, according to the authorities, had no impact on the Games themselves.
