FBI: cybercriminals are set to target the Olympics
The games have just begun in the Japanese capital Tokyo with billions of people around the world set to tune in to the action after a year's delay due to the pandemic.
In a 'private industry notification' issued ahead of the Games, the US intelligence service warned that the Olympics could be targeted by any number of possible attacks, including distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks, ransomware, social engineering, phishing campaigns, or insider threats.
