These Olympic Games Launched a New Era of Cyber Sabotage Operation Olympic Games has demonstrated the alluring potential of using cyber means to conduct sabotage and network exploitation tasks. The 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games will start on July 23 albeit being delayed by a year due to the Covid-19 pandemic, still raging today with a mutated but more virulent Delta variant. There are already a few cases of athletes and officials testing positive for Covid-19 even before the Games has officially begun. Nonetheless, more than a decade ago, there was another Olympic Games that demonstrated to the world the potential use of cyber means in a real-world operation to conduct sabotage. Operation Olympic Games or more commonly known as the Stuxnet attack on the Iranian nuclear facility at Natanz was a cyber-sabotage operation that ran between 2009 to 2010, and the United States and Israel are believed to have conducted it.
