An unidentified hacking group has gained access to the internal IT network of the 2021 National Games of China.

The competition, which took place in September 2021 in the city of Shaanxi, is an internal sporting event for Chinese athletes only, modeled after the rules of the Olympic Games and the event where national champions are crowned across different sporting events.

Avast said that roughly 12 days before the event’s start, unknown attackers gained access to a public server and an SQL database belonging to the event’s organizers and proceeded to install web shells so they could access systems at later points.
