A 75-year old lady from the former Soviet republic of Georgia has perpetrated an impressive feat of international sabotage in what seems to have been an accident of extremely bad luck.
While foraging for copper wire near her home in the village of Ksani, the unnamed septuagenarian managed to come across a critical fiber optic cable, one responsible for serving internet connectivity to “90 percent of private and corporate internet users in Armenia” or 3.2 million people and some in her own country, Georgia, as well.
Her swift strike with a shovel at the heart of said bit-transferring pipeline resulted in all those folks being thrown offline for a solid 12 hours, while the Georgian Railway Telecom worked to find and correct the fault. In spite of her relatively benign motivations, the lady now faces three years in prison for the damage she caused, however she has been initially released because of her age.
The woman has been dubbed “the spade hacker” by local media.
But why should something like that be in such an easy reach of a stranger anyway!
exactly. fibre optic cable of such importance should be well protected. this is no fault of the lady but of those responsible for its management. the same could have happened due to natural causes.
You went school behind the black board or what? Read and understand before you think of writing such BS. go and learn your world geography or ask and discuss matter before writing or even speaking.
Hello smart,

That’s what I call an “internet hacker”.lol..

The spade hacker lol
As disjointed as the world seem to be sometimes, what the heck is a fiber optic cable linking internet in the USA doing in the Republic of Georgia? Well, if I may answer my question – we are all one people and one innocent act of survival by this 75yr old looking for copper to sell affected another part of the world (when Georgia sneeze America gets the internet flu).
Come on, dont make a fool of yourself. The story never said that the fibre optic line in the Republic of Georgia cut of internet in USA. The Republic of Georgia is in the middle east border by Turkey and Russia and the internet was cut of in Armenia which is directly to the south of the Georgia. Thats why this happened. Its not rocket scienec people, its comprehension.
The article said Armenia not America. Armenia is landlocked country in Europe bordered with Turkey and Georgia. On another note, seeing it was an honest mistake I think this poor elderly woman could be afforded a break.
My Dear you saw wrong. It affected internet users in Amenia not America.Georgia is a country in the Caucasus just north of eastern Turkey. It was formerly in the Soviet Union until given independence in 1991. Georgia’s capital is Tbilisi.
Sometimes we are so quick to criticize america that we assume the wrong things.
ahah Is so some of you Dominicans so quick to jump the gun and carry misinformed information. The report clearly says Armenia…
DNO should start integrating facebook into its site.
lmo gooood idea!!! lets see these dotish ppl!!!! lmao
