Critical Cybersecurity Loopholes Found in Paris 2024 Olympics Infrastructure
-
- A recent cybersecurity assessment by Outpost24, ahead of the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris, has raised concerns about the online infrastructure's security. While deemed "mostly secure," critical vulnerabilities were identified, including unsecured open ports, invalid or lacking SSL certificates on domains, and potential non-compliance with data privacy regulations regarding user consent for cookie usage. The presence of lookalike domains with malicious intent also poses risks of phishing scams or malware attacks. These vulnerabilities could lead to various cyber threats during the Games, including data breaches, operational disruptions, and reputational damage. Despite the implementation of strong security measures, the report emphasizes the need for continuous monitoring of loopholes. Outpost24's CSO acknowledges the Paris 2024 organizers' efforts but highlights that perfection is rare in cybersecurity. With the Games expected to attract over 1 billion viewers, cybercriminals may exploit weaknesses to steal sensitive information, similar to the 450 million cyberattacks during the 2020 Tokyo Olympics.
