TOKYO -- Japanese companies are waking up to the risks of Tokyo hosting the Olympics this summer and are taking measures to mitigate any cyberattacks that might come their way as the world's eyes focus on the country for two weeks beginning July 24.
They do not have to go too far back in time to find an example of an Olympic host coming under attack. In 2018, malware almost delayed the opening ceremony of the Pyeongchang Winter Olympics, in South Korea, according to reports. The cyberattack targeted the organizing committee and partner companies, seizing servers and about 300 computers.
