With the Olympics underway, Attendees and Spectators at Risk of Cyberattacks

Cyber threats are anticipated to increase 8-12 times more for the Paris 2024 Olympics compared to the Tokyo Games in 2021, says Paris 2024’s Head of IT Security. Protection measures involve using ethical hackers for stress tests and AI for sorting possible security risks. Besides targeting operations, cybercriminals could also focus on attendees through fake ticketing and phishing. Security experts emphasise international support for France’s efforts in ensuring safety throughout the games.
