The 2018 South Korean Winter Olympic Games were hit by a cyberattack during the opening ceremony. The attack is thought to be a Russian-sponsored attack in retaliation for barring entry for its athletes. Islamist hackers have attacked French and Israeli broadcasts in recent years, including disrupting the Eurovision song contest to send false missile alerts. The Tour de France is responsible for putting on the largest cycling event in the world and needs to ensure that the information it broadcasts out is robust and safe from interference. The fact that so many people watch sporting events makes broadcasts attractive targets for attackers with a message.”]
