The Russian war booked its first blog casualty, as we reported yesterday, we thought that this was an isolated attack but it seems
Russia’s plot now is to totally destroy the Georgian cyberspace.

ZDNet informs us that there has been a co-ordinated attacked on Georgian Government websites and Georgian News sites and portals.

This is being done by individuals of ‘The Russian Business Network’, a group of extremely nationalistic individuals.¬† They are defacing the websites among other things, an example being an attack on President Sakashvilli website.

ZDNet says:

After defacing Mikheil Saakashvili’s web site and integrating a slideshow portraying Saakashvili as Hitler next to coming up with identical images of both Saakashvili and Hitler’s public appearances, the site remains under a sustained DDoS attack. It’s also interesting to point out that the an average script kiddie wouldn’t bother, or wouldn’t even understand the PSYOPs effect of coming up with identical gestures of both parties and integrating them within the defaced sites.

With its website hacked, the Georgian Foreign Ministry¬†was forced to¬†get a free ‘Blogger’ account to enable it to get information out.

We hope that this attacks will stop and it is extremely shameful that it is individuals who are perpetrating this actions.
