According to the latest information by posted by ShadowServer.org of Tuesday, 12 August 2008 titled "Georgian Websites Under Attack - Don't Believe the Hype", specifically refers to the fact that there is no proof that above mentioned organization are in fact responsible to the attacks. According to ShadowServer.org, the attacked sites fall under the following categories:
* Adult video websites
* Prostitution websites
* White supremacy websites
* Carder websites (sites that trade in stolen credit card numbers)
* Online gambling websites
* Virtual currency websites (think PayPal, but not nearly that legitimate)
* Russian news websites
* Random Russian websites
* Many other websites
Another speculation is that RBN is somehow involved in DDoS attacks. Nobody has a proof of that either.
