The Olympics draws millions of people around the globe but it also attracts a higher risk of a cybersecurity attack. Travis Farral, Director of Security Strategy at Anomali, joins Cheddar to discuss certain risks to athletes and tourists traveling to PyeongChang, South Korea.
He says the overall risk of a major cybersecurity attack is unlikely, but he's concerned about small attacks in the form of hacking email or personal information. The Russians have been banned from the Olympics following a doping scandal, so he suspects some hackers from Russia may try to interfere at one point or another.
Plus, Farral talks about how geopolitical tension could impact the Olympics. South Korea and North Korea are still at odds, so the idea of a nuclear missile being launched during the games wasn't out of the question.
