Britain and the U.S. have joined Georgia in blaming Russia for a large-scale cyber attack on the country last year.

The attack"was intended to harm Georgian citizens and government structures by disrupting and paralyzing the functionality of various organizations, thereby causing anxiety among the general public," said foreign ministry spokesman Vladimer Konstantinidi.

Western countries have accused the GRU of orchestrating a spree of destructive in cyberattacks in recent years, including hacks that took down parts of the Ukrainian energy grid and crippled businesses worldwide in 2017. U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said the attack"directly affected the Georgian population, disrupted operations of several thousand Georgian government and privately-run websites and interrupted the broadcast of at least two major television stations."

No not true. Nice people Russians.

Fascinating! Why did you do this? Fix your omission, animals

Don't go telling D J Trump that you are blaming Russia !!! . He'll throw his toys out of his pram and threaten anything that moves with Hell Fire and Damnation. It might add some more validity, if any is needed, to the facts that TRUMP WAS ELECTED ON THE BACK OF RUSSIAN HELP

That was the test run for disruptions planned for this year's elections in the United States. They did the same thing to Ukraine before the 2016 elections as well... Are we deaf and dumb as well as blind here in America, or what?

not sure how to read this given the puppet narrative

Did anyone tell realDonaldTrump that we signed on to this?

Why does nbc cover for China?

...just practicing for the really big one next November...😒

But Trump & GOP cronies welcome Russia cyber attacks here in America.

Practice for f**king the USA over in November. GOP and Trump are going to keep on denying this can happen to the USA and continue cutting funds for cyber defense.

NBC you are fake news we know that

A little too late. Are these states ready for new attacks.

Really?Does Trump know?

A preview for November 2020 in America?

One country trying to strong arm another ramping up to avoidable consequences, mistakes and errors in judgements and down right stupidity. 20 years of Afganistan is all that needs to be said. Good move, extraordinarily late in coming, but better late, than never.
