The 2018 Winter Olympics in South Korea next month have banned Russia from sending their athletes due to systematic charges of doping. It is not hard to imagine that this has enraged Moscow and that they have aimed, in retaliation, their cyber warfare capabilities at finding ways to discredit, disrupt and embarrass the World Doping Agency, the US Anti-Doping Agency and others.
"On Wednesday, the hacking group released emails targeting Olympic organizations, just weeks before the beginning of the 2018 Winter Olympic Games in Pyeongchang, South Korea.
The hackers reportedly hit Olympic organizations with the same tactic used on the Senate. A separate cybersecurity firm discovered fake websites imitating the World Anti-Doping Agency, the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency, and the Olympic Council of Asia."
