The websites of a number of government and private agencies came under cyberattack on October 28.
The hackers have targeted the websites of the President’s Administration, common courts, city halls and city councils of Batumi, Kutaisi and Kareli, two non-governmental organizations – Media Development Foundation and Society and Banks – as well as a number of media outlets (guriismoambe.com, topnews.com.ge, saqinform.ge, trialeti.ge).
The homepages of the hacked websites were replaced by the photo showing Georgia’s ex-President Mikheil Saakashvili with a caption “I’ll Be Back.”
The Interior Ministry reported today that it has launched investigation under articles 284 and 286 of the criminal code of Georgia, involving unauthorized access to computer system, as well as unauthorized handling of computer data and/or computer systems.
