Irked By Cyberspying, Georgia Outs Russia-based Hacker
coondoggie writes "In one of the photos, the dark-haired, bearded hacker is peering into his computer's screen, perhaps puzzled at what's happening. Minutes later, he cuts his computer's connection, realizing he has been discovered. In an unprecedented move, the country of Georgia — irritated by persistent cyber-spying attacks — has published two photos of a Russia-based hacker who, the Georgians allege, waged a persistent, months-long campaign that stole confidential information from Georgian government ministries, parliament, banks and NGOs."
...Computer Hacks You! Seriously loving the decor though.
Doesnt sound like a top-level professional, but the junior-grade trainee - probably taking orders from above.
Or, you know, also sounds like not a hacker at all.
What makes you think he's an actual hacker and not just someone who was a source of inconvenience for other reasons?
Anonymous americans will swallow anything and then regurgitate it as fact. Georgia attacked the Russkies at the border, the Russkies chased them all the way back to the capital. If they "wanted their colonies back" they could easily have stomped the capital there and then and made the case that it was for their own defence. But that's not what happened, having marched to the city limits of the capital they had proved their point to the world and reiterated that point by simply walking away.
