On Sunday, The Guardian reported that Winter Olympics organizers confirmed that hackers targeted the event’s opening ceremony. Disruptions included faulty stadium WiFi and television and internet service at the main press centre going down. Now, researchers at Talos, part of cybersecurity firm Cisco, say they’ve found a piece of malware that is likely linked to the outages.

The news signals the increased use of malware that is focused on causing destruction rather than stealing information, and comes as state-sponsored hackers around the world, including Iran and Russia, continue to use destruction-focused malware.
