Citizen Lab

The International Olympic Committee has defended China’s MY2022 Olympics app following a report from Citizen Lab that found serious privacy issues with the platform.

All attendees of the 2022 Olympic Games in Beijing need to download and use the app, but Citizen Lab released a report on Monday that said a “simple but devastating flaw” allows the encryption protecting users’ voice audio and file transfers to be “trivially sidestepped.”
