Did you hear about the 75 year-old grandma that took down the Internet in three European countries?!  I recently read this story from Fox News…

A 75-year-old Georgian woman was despondent following her arrest and subsequent release for alleged cutting a fiber-optic cable in her poverty-stricken village of Armazi — and causing Internet outages in three neighboring countries.

The woman argued not only that she wasn’t responsible for the outage, but upon being arrested, she said, “I have no idea what the Internet is.”  The damage was apparently so severe that 90% of Armenian users lost access for nearly 12 hours while neighboring Georgia and some areas of Azerbajian were also affected.

Prosecutors suggest she was copper looting – which is a common means of making money in the former Soviet Union. Certain scavengers have been known to dig up hundreds of meters of cable.  If found guilty, she could face up to three years in prison.
