Hackers tampered with data 250 athletes

Part of the American accusations against seven Russian hackers is that they stole confidential information from sportsmen and spread it to put them in a bad light.

For example, they collected private information and confidential medical data from approximately 250 athletes from nearly 30 countries. They edited the information for their purposes. It was a retribution operation after Russia was excluded from the 2018 Olympic Winter Games in South Korea due to large-scale doping use.

The seven defendants between the ages of 27 and 46 are according to the prosecutors in Russia and are members of the Russian military intelligence service GROe.
