On the 24th of October the managing director of the television channel Rustavi 2 Nika (Nikoloz) Gvaramia announced that a two-day cyber attack had been perpetrated against the company's computers. "The virus spread across all the computers, but two computers were the aim. One is mine, which I currently do not use, and the second belongs to the chair of the information service of Nodar Meladze.
