Evidence of Russian Cyberwarfare Against Georgia
An anonymous reader writes "In what seems to be a repeat of what happened in July, a few news sites have mentioned that there is evidence of a campaign against Georgia. For example, both the government's and the president's sites are inaccessible, among other official websites. For some analysis, the RBN Exploit blog demonstrates various traceroutes that have failed to several sites. They also claim that the RBN (Russian Business Network cyber-crime organisation) are behind the attacks, and that 'Many of Georgia's internet servers were under external control from late Thursday,' before the actual war began. Finally, according to this Twitter account of someone in Georgia (written in Russian), he claims that 'Russia has blocked access to Georgian websites from within Russia' (rough translation)."
Do you really think like this? 2000 of innocent people have been killed by Georgia soldiers... And you still claim that it's Russian fault... Oh my... we just can't leave Osetia area - there are Russian people who are under Georgia fire. I just wonder how west journalists 'play' with words to claim Russian guilty. Guys quite frankly - stop listen American propaganda and take a look on _real_ things. We didn't start the war, we didn't want it, we just can't allow to kill Russian people. And if that happen we have to protect our people in other part of the world - we will do without any doubts!!!
i'm not even wondered by - you always believe in _what_ you want to believe! Nothing else. I saw British report about Russian violence in Georgia - and it's full of sh*t. And it's not surprice in case of Russian-British problems (remember Litvinenco). Anyway, you may take a look from another point of view http://top.rbc.ru/photoreport/09/08/2008/217994.shtml Please, don't get me wrong - any more or less normal government will be protecting their civilians (and of course it has to). But there is a confrontation I would say btw Amecrica and Russia. It's not started today, not yesterday - do you remember Karibian Crisis? Of course I really hate _any_ violence - but in case of Georgia we just have no choise except to protect our people. Maybe you should take a look on photos fron Iraque to realise something first! So any information could be present in two views but it doesn't make Osetia live easier. And as I saw many-many georgian civilians just hate this war too - but georgian government it seems to be in madness and doesn't think about their own people... unfortunelly... i really hope this situation (war) will be stopped soon and _normal_ negotiations being.
Russia and the USA do have conflicting economic interests. But going as far as saying that Putin views the US as a threat. Certainly not as a military threat, and the Russian economy is looking good.
I would also not be so quick in bundling the EU in with whatever the US does. You'd be surprised (not) at what most people in Europe think about the recent warmongering. The US isn't/hasn't been making many friends over here. Protip: Georgia ... srsly isn't even on the map.I know we have an oil pipe there and that's it.
As for Georgia ... dumb. ass. move.
Got your panties in a twist, and your ass handed to you by the russians, for a handfull of sheep herders who don't want to be governed by you? Really?
You had to attack a bunch of sheep herders with russian passports? Really?
Started a serious fight with the russians as you're about to join NATO? REALLY?
2000 dead count and people stress over not being able to resolve government.gov.ge. Interesting.
well lets stop this thread indeed. You are not in Osetia and seems never got any call from there. Want you believe me or not - I don't really care now. So - bye!
