Subject: Tokyo Olympics: Russian hackers targeted Games, UK says
Written By: Philip Eno on 10/20/20 at 7:48 am
Russian hackers targeted this year's Olympic Games in Tokyo with the aim of disrupting them, UK officials said. The Foreign Office said Russia's GRU military intelligence carried out "cyber reconnaissance" against officials and organisations involved. The alleged attacks took place before the Games were postponed until 2021 because of the coronavirus pandemic. Officials did not, however, specify the nature or extent of the cyber-attacks in detail.

I’m wondering how do you hack the olympics? Besides hacking into records. Beam a signal to make people perform better or worse? Pull a Max Headroom?

To flicker light in the athletes eyes, temporary blinding them?

For example by disrupting communications. Making it impossible to organize and run the whole thing. I'm a bit confused though as to why they would do that. ???

Simply because the Russian regime is just a(nother) fascist empire.

Or maybe they wanted to know in advance which athletes would be tested for illegal doping....That would at least make sense. :-X
