The Grand Palais exhibition hall in Paris experienced a ransomware attack. The exhibition hall is hosting Olympic events such as fencing and Taekwondo. Although malicious actors targeted the central computer system within the institution, officials state that no disruption to the games occurred. 

“As this new ransomware attack hits just five days before the long-awaited 2024 Paris Olympics concludes, officials must remain vigilant for more cyberattacks on the horizon. Adversaries, including hacktivists, state-sponsored groups and organized crime syndicates, continue to pose serious threats to the security of the games, athletes and the infrastructure of Paris.
