South Korea probes cyber shutdown during Olympics ceremony


Internal internet and wifi systems crashed at about 7:15 pm (1015 GMT) on Friday and were still not back to normal at midday on Saturday, Games organisers said. North Korea has also blamed for a series of cyber incidents including the WannaCry global ransomware attack, which infected 300,000 computers worldwide last May. "We don't want to speculate because we're still trying to find out what the root source is," said Nancy Park, a spokeswoman for the Games organisers. While internet and wifi were affected across the Olympic site -- spread over two main venues in mountainous eastern South Korea -- organisers said there was no impact on competition, which got into full swing on Saturday. "There were some issues that impacted some of our non-critical systems last night for a few hours," Games organisers said in a statement.
