asdfgs
If you have sensitive data that you don't want stolen then don't bring it to Sochi and - if it's too late for that - don't talk about while enjoying the Olympics.
Reporter Robert Engel brought two brand new computers and a new smartphone to Sochi and had an American security expert upload a phony identity for him so that they contained hackable data.
Then then went to a coffee shop and used the smartphone to browse about Sochi.
"Almost immediately we were hacked," Engel reports. "Malicious software hijacked our phone before we even finished our coffee, stealing my information and giving hackers the option to tap or record my phone calls."
Later, Engel found that the two new computers had been hacked, and the stream of information from one of the computers was going to a servers within Russia.
