Thousands of Websites Offline as Georgia Suffers Major Cyber-Attack
#1
Information 
Quote:Thousands of websites and a national TV station have been taken out by a major cyber-attack in the eastern European nation of Georgia.
 
The former Soviet nation has been left reeling after the apparently coordinated attack led to the defacement of over 15,000 pages — many of which were replaced with a photo of former President Mikheil Saakashvili, and the words "I'll be back." Some 2000 were apparently forced offline completely.
 
Among those affected are the presidential website, non-government organizations, the courts, and numerous private companies, according to the BBC.
 
The outages and disruptions appear to be the result of attackers targeting web hoster Proservice, which reportedly claimed on Monday evening it had been able to recover around half of those sites.
