Who is behind PyeongChang Winter Olympic attack?

Ddos February 27, 2018 1 minute read
Pyeongchang Winter Olympics

On February 9, The Pyeongchang Olympic Winter Games in South Korea during the opening ceremony of the organizers of the computer system has been hacked. Malicious programs used by attackers are described by security researchers as Olympic Destroyer. So, Who is behind PyeongChang Olympic attack?

On February 26, 2018, Cisco’s Talos Labs published “Who Wasn’t Responsible for Olympic Destroyer?” article on their website,  believes the technology it uses has ties to hacking teams in North Korea, China, and Russia, while U.S. intelligence officials believe the attacker is a military hacker in Russia. Talos Labs found that part of the Olympic Destroyer code is linked to the North Korean hacker team Lazarus Group, while others are linked to the Chinese hacker team APT3 and APT10, with some codes related to Russia.

Information given by US intelligence officials claimed that South Korea’s routers were intruded before the Olympics, and the invaders were Russia’s foreign intelligence agencies. The compromised router can be used to reroute network traffic, monitor traffic, or launch a man-in-the-middle attack.
