After a failed attempt to illegally access the FIFA World Cup IT network at the Korea and Japan games four years ago, more emphasis has been placed on intrusion detection processes.
FIFA's networking partner said today it was expecting hackers to launch huge denial of service attacks against the World Cup football network as the first game of the long-awaited tournament in Germany draws closer.
World football governing body FIFA will have less than a month to install the entire IT network into all the stadiums for the World Cup tournament this European summer due to the late finish of the German football season.
