The State Ministry for Reconciliation and Civic Equality said its website was hacked on August 18, 2015.

The homepage was replaced by a page showing animated image of a nose-picking anime character with messages in English, among them: “Hacked by Error 7rB” and “No System Is Safe Access to the Site Was Easy”.

The state ministry said that it temporarily took down the smr.gov.ge website; it was not accessible as of Tuesday evening.
