| Titre | Les efforts d'influence russe convergent les Jeux olympiques de Paris 2024 Russian Influence efforts converge on 2024 Paris Olympics Games |
| Texte | ## Snapshot In the summer of 2023, a curious set of videos crept into social media platforms. Telegram feeds that normally promoted pro-Kremlin narratives suddenly began promoting a film called “Olympics Has Fallen.” Users were encouraged to scan a QR code that directed them to a Telegram channel of the same name. Upon arriving at this channel, viewers encountered a feature-length film with a similar aesthetic and a play on the title of the American political action movie “Olympus Has Fallen,” released more than a decade earlier.(1) AI-generated audio impersonating the voice of film actor Tom Cruise narrated a strange, meandering script disparaging the International Olympic Committee\'s leadership. Nearly a year later and with less than 80 days until the opening of the 2024 Paris Olympic Games, the Microsoft Threat Analysis Center (MTAC) has observed a network of Russia-affiliated actors pursuing a range of malign influence campaigns against France, French President Emmanuel Marcon, the International Olympic Committee (IOC), and the Paris Games. These campaigns may forewarn coming online threats to this summer\'s international competition. ## Activity Overview ### Russia\'s long history of disparaging the Olympic Games Modern Russia, as well as its predecessor the Soviet Union, has a longstanding tradition of seeking to undermine the Olympic Games. If they cannot participate in or win the Games, then they seek to undercut, defame, and degrade the international competition in the minds of participants, spectators, and global audiences. The Soviet Union boycotted the 1984 Summer Games held in Los Angeles and sought to influence other countries to do the same. US State Department officials linked Soviet actors to a campaign that covertly distributed leaflets to Olympic committees in countries including Zimbabwe, Sri Lanka, and South Korea.(2) The leaflets claimed non-white competitors would be targeted by US extremists-a claim that follows a tried-and-true active measures strategy: using divisive social issues to sow discord among a target audience.(3) A recurring aspect of Russian malign influence is its ability to resurface themes at a later time in a different country. Remarkably, four decades later, we are witnessing similar claims of anticipated extremist violence emerging in the context of the Paris Games this summer. Separately, in 2016, Russian hackers penetrated the World Anti-Doping Agency and revealed private medical information about American athletes Serena Williams, Venus Williams, and Simone Biles.(4) Two years later, the “Olympic Destroyer” cyberattack against the 2018 Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang, South Korea, managed to take some of the Winter Games\' internal servers offline. The US Department of Justice charged two Russian GRU officers in connection to the hack in 2020.(5) The slow burn of Russian President Vladimir Putin and the Kremlin\'s displeasure with the IOC and the ability to participate in the Olympics-an event of longstanding pride to the Russian government-has intensified in recent years. In 2017, the IOC concluded extensive investigations into Russia\'s state-sponsored use of performance-enhancing drugs across several Olympic Games in 2017 which resulted in Russia being formally barred from participating in the 2018 Winter Games.(6) Last year, in 2023, the IOC confirmed that Russian citizens would be allowed to compete in Paris but only as neutral athletes prohibited from sporting the flag or colors of the Russian Federation.(7) Shortly after this decision, MTAC began detecting a range of foreign malign influence operations that continue today, and we suspect may intensify as the 2024 Paris Opening Ceremony approaches.(8) ### Old world tactics meet the age of AI Starting in June 2023, prolific Russian influence actors-which Microsoft tracks as Storm-1679 and Storm-1099-pivoted their operations to take aim at the 2024 Olympic Games and French President Emmanuel Macron. These ongoing Russian influence operations have two cent |
