Cabinet Office minister Francis Maude has warned that the London 2012 Olympic Games “will not be immune” to cyber attacks. A dedicated unit will help guard the London Olympics against cyber attack. Foreign intelligence agencies, or groups working on their behalf, also continue to target UK government networks, Maude said. The Beijing Olympics in 2008 experienced 12 million cybersecurity attacks, and hackers would be looking to “disrupt” this year’s Games as well as the Beijing Olympics. Atos said last month that it had successfully completed its first live batch of tests for London 2012.”]
