An anonymous reader quotes a report from the BBC: A huge cyber-attack has knocked out more than 2,000 websites — as well as the national TV station — in the country of Georgia. Court websites containing case materials and personal data have also been attacked. In many cases, website home pages were replaced with an image of former President Mikheil Saakashvili, and the caption “I’ll be back.” The origin of the attack is not yet known.

She added that she had been told by cyber-security experts that Georgian government websites were “poorly protected and vulnerable to attack.” More than 15,000 pages were affected, including the presidential website, non-government organizations and private companies.
