⚠Potential impact
A breach of a national judiciary is among the most consequential kinds of government compromise, because court records can contain sensitive details about litigants, victims, witnesses, and ongoing proceedings, alongside the personal data of judges, lawyers, and court staff. Exposure on this scale creates risks of intimidation, coercion, and interference with justice, as well as identity theft and fraud. The claimed presence of backups, configuration files, source code, and infrastructure documentation would additionally expose how judicial systems are built and defended, aiding further attacks. The claim is unverified.

It follows a similar listing the same actor posted against a European government agency days earlier. The claim is unverified and Georgian judicial authorities have not publicly addressed it.
