Georgia Woman, 75, Charged With Cutting Off Armenia From The Internet
A 75-year-old Georgian woman is facing jail time after she
accidentally sliced through an underground cable and caused all
Internet services in neighboring Armenia to crash.
As the BBC is reporting, the Georgian Interior Ministry confirmed the
woman admitted to damaging fiber optic cables while scavenging for
copper in the village of Ksani on March 28. Owned by the Georgian
Railway Telecom company, the cables service eastern Georgia, Armenia
and Azerbaijan.
"She found the cable while collecting scrap metal and cut it with a
view to stealing it," Georgian interior ministry spokesman Zura
Gvenetadze is quoted by the AFP as saying. "Taking into account her
advancing years, she has been released pending the end of the
investigation and subsequent trial."
All three wholesale internet providers in Armenia -- ArmenTel,
FiberNet Communication and GNC-Alfa -- were unable to provide their
usual service after the woman cut the cable, though services were
restored after midnight.
The Guardian reports that the unnamed woman, who has been dubbed "the
spade-hacker" by local media, is being investigated on suspicion of
damaging property, and could face up to three years in prison if
charged and convicted.
"I cannot understand how this lady managed to find and damage the
cable," the head of the company's marketing department, Giorgi
Ionatamishvili, also told the AFP. "It has robust protection and such
incidents are extremely rare." | B**********f
