'Zeus' Hacker Group Strikes Israeli Olympic Athletes in Data Leak

www.darkreading.com 'Zeus' Hacker Group Strikes Israeli Olympic Athletes in Data Leak

Security presence has been heightened in the city to ensure that the Games are safe, and Israeli athletes have been provided with even more protection.

The sensitive data of several Israeli athletes in the Paris Olympic Games was published on Telegram in an alleged doxing attack on Friday.

A hacking group calling itself "Zeus" (likely a nod to the Games' Greek origins) is allegedly responsible, and also purportedly leaked the military status of Israeli athletes on social media a day prior.

Good. Many of these "athletes" served in the israeli occupation forces and will have participated in human rights abuses against Palestinians which have now become completely normalized in that society.
Israel should not be participating in these games It is a stain on the Olympics.
- "Good"? I've seen some really strange takes here, but this is wild. I'm pretty sure Israel has compulsory service for nearly all citizens, so serving in the IDF isn't exactly a choice they would have necessarily made willingly. To suggest that they deserve to be doxxed for something they had no say in is absurd.
  Point your anger at the right people.
  
  Fuck that. They have an international platform to say something against the ongoing genocide and are instead supporting it by participating under the Israeli flag.

  Big "I was just following orders" energy here.
- The Olympics were literally held in Nazi Germany, they have no respectability to stain...
- Why "athletes" in scare quotes?
  The only reason Russia isn't directly participating in the games is their athletes are dopers. You think otherwise Russia is a stand-up country? Yet their "athletes" (?) are there.

As a sidenote... Is Zeus depicted as caressing and admiring his malformed god-cock in that statue or what the hell am I looking at?
- Cornucopia (Latin: “horn of abundance”) is an old symbol of plenty.
  But yes, I imagine this shot was chosen for its suggestive framing to congratulate the hackers for bullying the bullies.

I feel like doxxing someone is more of an Odin or Athena type of thing. Zeus is more into rape and stalking, just ask Io
