International hacking group “Anonymous” released a warning and threat to Georgian police and government officials following weeks of protests and the police brutality towards peaceful protesters on April 30:
“To the protesters in Georgia: We have heard your plea for help. Take heart and take to your streets; you are not alone. Anonymous members stand with you and will help in your fight for democracy, freedom, and prosperity.
“To the Georgian police: Attacking protesters will result in the release of information about all of your government officials. We will seize all your databases and email pools and dump them on the internet. This is your first and only warning.
“To the Dream Party, backed by Russia: Remember, Georgia is not Russia, nor will it ever be.”
