Russia denies launching cyber attacks against the 2018 Winter Olympic games held in PyeongChang, South Korea.
Russia has been banned from the 2018 Winter Olympics because of wide-spread state-sponsored cheating during the 2014 Winter Olympics held in Sochi, Russia. Motive & retribution/revenge.
Russia’s first instinct after all incidents which may reflect badly on Russia is to deny, deny, deny.
Usually, after 30 to 90 days Russia admits guilt or evidence is produced that indelibly proves Russian guilt. Therefore, the most likely culprit behind the cyber attacks on the 2018 Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang, South Korea is… Russia. Most likely. Not saying they did it, but… they’re already denying guilt.
Olympic Athletes from Russia (OARs) enter the stadium during the opening ceremony of the Pyeongchang 2018 Winter Olympic Games at Pyeongchang. They are barred from carrying the Russian flag.
PYEONGCHANG, South Korea (Reuters) – Pyeongchang Winter Olympics organizers confirmed on Sunday that the Games had fallen victim to a cyber attack during Friday’s opening ceremony, but they refused to reveal the source.
