Georgia investigates alleged cyberattack over Gazprom document leak

Georgia’s State Security Service (SSSG) has launched an investigation into alleged sabotage and unauthorised access to a government computer system following the publication of a classified annex to an agreement with Russian energy giant Gazprom.

The investigation aims to determine how the document, which included commercially sensitive pricing information, was made public on the Georgian government administration’s website and subsequently disseminated by media outlets, Caliber.Az reports via Georgian media. 

The SSSG said in a statement that the alleged cyberattack and manipulative actions were intended to harm Georgia’s state interests by spreading false or misleading information, potentially causing political and economic damage.

“Following the alleged criminal act, various media outlets and social media platforms began actively covering the issue. The State Security Service responded immediately and recommended that media representatives and individuals refrain from disseminating unverified information,” the SSSG said in a statement.

The probe is being conducted under Articles 318 (sabotage) and 284 (unauthorized access to a computer system) of Georgia’s Criminal Code.

The document in question was published on the government website on December 25, 2025, and first came to public attention during a broadcast on Formula TV.
