PARIS: A Finnish cybersecurity firm expects the Paris Olympics to become the target of an increasing number of cyberattacks, especially by Russian actors, according to a new study released on July 15.

Experts at Finland's cybersecurity firm WithSecure said the organisers of this year's Summer Olympics held in Paris should brace for a higher risk of cyberattacks compared to previous editions "due to geopolitical turbulence."
