The FBI is not aware of any specific cyber threat against the Olympics, but encourages partners to remain vigilant and maintain best practices in their network and digital environments. Attacks could involve malware delivery, distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks, ransomware, social engineering, phishing campaigns, and even insider threats. The FBI urges athletes to keep their personal cell phones at home and use a temporary phone while at the Games. In 2020, the Department of Justice also charged six Russian intelligence operatives for hacking operations targeting the Pyeongchang Winter Olympics.”]
