Cities around the world have been dropping out of the bidding process to host the 2022 Winter Olympics as taxpayers in prospective host cities rejecting the Games via referendums out of fear of overspending on unnecessary projects.
Russia closed its 2-week hosting of the winter games at Sochi with a bill amounting to $51 billion making it the most expensive Olympic hosting in history.
After NBC News aired a report warning visitors to the 2014 Sochi Winter Olympics that it will be "open hunting season" for hackers, security experts - including the one shown in the report - are saying the report is overblown and misleading.
