French TV channel TF1 reported that personal data of Israeli athletes participating in the Paris Olympics has been leaked online. Information surfaced on social media regarding the athletes' blood test results, passwords for different services, and details about Israelis who served in the Israeli army. The incident is under investigation by the National Center for Combating Online Hate and the French Cybercrime Office.

According to the Times of Israel, the 88 Israeli athletes at the Paris Games are under round-the-clock protection from French security forces, as well as oversight from Shin Bet officials.
