It is one of the most notable and appreciated competition sites of the Paris 2024 Olympic Games. The Grand Palais has hosted practice events and, from this Thursday, it will be the site of the taekwondo competition. But on the night of August 3 to 4, the place was attacked by a cyberattack. No data was stolen, he was assured in a press release published this Tuesday.
“Immediately we told ANSSI (National Information Systems Security Agency) to analyze the situation and rebuild our networks, in conjunction with the Ministry of Culture. To date, no data extraction has been found. No effect was observed in terms of services for the Grand Palais, where Sunday’s Olympic events took place without difficulty. »
Other museums affected, including the Louvre
Therefore this cyberattack should not affect the continuation of the Paris 2024 Olympic Games and the final events planned at the Grand Palais. As we announced to you this Monday, many other museums are affected, including the Louvre.
This would be a ransomware attack, that is malicious software which encrypts, makes completely unreadable, the data of a computer, server or network of a company or of a local area. The attackers then threaten to release the data if a ransom is not paid.
