Russia directed 2019 cyberattack on former republic of Georgia, U.S. and allies say

against a turncoat Russian spy, Sergei Skripal, who along with his daughter was poisoned by a military-grade nerve agent in the quiet cathedral city of Salisbury.of the movements of two Russian operatives sent to carry out the attack.

Georgia suggested it was targeted in part because Moscow was rattled by its aspirations to join the European Union and NATO. Russia and Georgia fought a brief war nearly 23 years ago, and relations since have been tense. Georgia’s foreign ministry said in a statement that the Oct. 28 cyberstrikes took direct aim at its national security, seeking to “harm Georgian citizens and government structures by disrupting and paralyzing the functionality of various organizations, causing anxiety among the general public.”

The hackers, echoing a mocking tone Russia often takes toward former republics that have since sought to move toward democracy, used last year’s attack to denigrate Georgia’s current leadership. Some official homepages carried images of ex-President Mikheil Saakashvili, emblazoned with the words “I’ll be back.”

Saakashvili, who moved to Ukraine afer serving two terms as Georgia’s president from 2004 to 2013, was sentenced in absentia two years ago on criminal charges of abusing his pardon powers. The former leader claimed the charges were politically motivated and false, but he has not returned to contest them.

Evil empire.
