Russian hackers are attacking Tokyo 2020 Olympics, says Microsoft www.neowin.net

Today, Microsoft has claimed that Russian state-sponsored hacker group Strontium (Fancy Bear/APT28) has been involved in cyberattacks targeting sporting and anti-doping organizations.
The Redmond giant's Threat Intelligence Center (MSTIC), which is responsible for monitoring, identifying, and reporting cybercrimes, mentioned the Tokyo 2020 Summer Games being in the crosshairs.
This is characteristic behavior on part of Strontium, claims Microsoft, as the group of hackers tried to attack anti-doping agencies previously as well.
Most notably, after the Russian team was disqualified from the 2018 Winter Olympics, Strontium was also a cog in the wheel of the Olympic Destroyer cyberattack.
To help deal with the threat posed by Strontium and considering the hype leading up to the Olympics, Microsoft believes that raising awareness and sharing significant threat activity is integral.
