During the opening ceremony of Pyeongchang Winter Olympics, it was attacked by hackers.

At the opening ceremony of the Pyeongchang Winter Olympics, the organizer found that there was a suspicious activity in its system. Later, they confirmed that this was caused by a hacker attack. The Pyeongchang Winter Olympics Organizing Committee said that during the opening ceremony, services including Internet and television services were affected. Spokesman Eric Baik-you added that all problems had been resolved and recovered on April 9, February 9, and that they had identified the attack source, however, after being discussed with the International Olympic Committee, it was decided not to disclose the identity of the culprit.

Some may assume that this hacking activity was initiated by Russia because the local contestant was banned from the competition after being found to be taking the banned medicine, security researchers have also indicated that Russian hackers intend to initiate retaliation. The Russian side has already preempted that the Western media will submit "false accusations" to them without evidence. However, based on past experience, none of these "defenses" are too convincing. After all, the Rio Olympics in 2016 has already witnessed the disclosure of athlete files by state-funded Russian hackers.

Of course, some people say that North Korea has also had many state-funded hacker mobile companies. However, according to recent exchanges between South Korea and North Korea, they have also sent personnel to participate, the two countries joined the women's ice hockey team, so the suspect was not that big.

No matter who is destroying the Olympics, this incident also reflects no matter how positive the atmosphere is in the real society, or someone chooses to use the Internet to play tricks. In addition, it will be selected for the Olympic Games that have received much international attention. Whether it is personal behavior or funded by the State, it seems that they want to promote some information with the world.
