So there's this bit thang happnin' in Georgia you've doubtless heard about, but did you know they're also under a full-scale cyber attack?
So a Georgia news site jumped to blogger in order to bypass the information roadblock.
"In a sense," notes Jim Stogdill, "they must be saying 'we can't keep our sites up, but we don't think [Russian hackers] can take down Blogspot, given Google's much better infrastructure and ability to defend it.'"
Weird, huh?

Future of war, cyber war. I heard about that estonian thing a little while back. Those pesky russians.
Yeah - just a couple practice runs before the big show?
Hehe - OHMYGJOD THEY'VE TURNED OFF THE INTERNETS!!!!
teh horror...
The bloggers would be missing how they were able to comment on other blogs.
There was a link in there somewhere to a map that has all these crucial world internet links or hubs or something, and the point being, a landlocked country like Georgia is totally reliant on Russia for the net.
So, Why not, oh, pull out the power plug for hub that supplies georgia with all their net currents?
this is the bit in the sci-fi show where everybody laughs off the really simple plan as being too simple, then they do it and it works and have hearty chuckles.
