Assuming this isn't just FUD, I want to see some more details about the devices used, whether they were properly patched with the latest security updates, and also some details about the attack vectors. Sure if you are searching the web and visiting sketchy websites that are hosting malware using an unpatched device with no security updates installed you are probably going to have a bad time. But that's the case in the US too, and not a distinctly Russian problem as this is trying to claim. I highly doubt that a properly updated device being used to browse legitimate websites will be "hacked within minutes" as this sensationalized report claims. Edit: I found this longer version of the story: http://www.nbcnews.com/watch/nbc-news-web-extra/honeypot-tests-likelihood-of-hackings-in-russia-137595971642 http://www.nbcnews.com/watch/nbc-news-web-extra/honeypot-tes... Basically they went to a website on the phone and ignored warnings in order to download and execute a malicious APK. On the PC they followed a link in a scammy looking phishing email to download and open a malicious Office document. On the Mac they visited a website that had an ad suggesting that they needed an "antivirus program" so they downloaded and installed it. So yeah the devices were hacked within 24 hours, but because of stupidity, not because Sochi is especially dangerous. Nothing can help you if you deliberately ignore warnings, and deliberately install Trojan horse malware. The exact same thing would have happened to him in the US.
