PYEONGCHANG — PyeongChang Winter Olympics organizers confirmed on Sunday that the Games had fallen victim to a cyber attack during Friday’s opening ceremony, but they refused to reveal the source. The Games’ systems, including the Internet and television services, were affected by the hack two days ago but organizers said it had not compromised any critical part of their operations. Asked if organizers knew who was behind the attack, International Olympic Committee Spokesman Mark Adams said: “I certainly don’t know. But best international practice says that you don’t talk about an attack.” Russia, which has been banned from the Games for doping, said days before the opening ceremony that any allegations linking Russian hackers to attacks on the infrastructure connected to the PyeongChang Olympic Games were unfounded. — Reuters
