The Legacy of the Olympic Destroyer Hack

Despite news headlines pointing out the strong likelihood that Russia was behind it, no one officially calls them out on it and Russia issues a forceful denial. So in the days after the hack with the Olympics still in full swing, Warren's team published their evidence without making an attribution. The games continue without any further cyber disruption. But for the tech security community, the legacy of the Olympic destroyer hack was something deeply troubling. Those false flags were so convincing. Research is now worried they'll see more innovation with false flags in future,. It raises the risk that a government might accuse the wrong nation for a cybercrime. A cyber war could become a hot war and could even mean loss of life.
