French cybercrime unit responds to doxxing of Israeli Olympic team

"The
French Anti-Cybercrime Office (OFAC) has been tasked with removing the private information of Israeli athletes, which was leaked ahead of the Summer Olympic Games in Paris....the hacker group Zeus published personal data of the members of the Israeli delegation, including documents, personal photos, addresses, medical information, and information about military service. The hackers claimed they were revealing what Israeli soldiers are doing at the Olympics, according to Ynet. The incident was classified as doxxing – a malicious publication of private data online – and reported to Pharos, a French service for flagging illegally disseminated content. According to Israeli media, the hackers also tried to harass the athletes online." RT
