I just listened to an interesting Popular Mechanics podcast on this topic — which included an interview with Jart Armin, whose RBNexploit.com specializes in fighting Russian cybercrime. Fragments of the interview are also in print. If Armin is correct, the Russian government is outsourcing cyber attacks to the Russian cyber-mafia — including the attack on Estonia.
Russian troops invaded Georgia’s South Ossetia on Friday, but Russian attacks on Georgia’s major Web sites and overall Internet access began a day earlier. That’s according to Jart Armin, editor of RBNexploit—the community blog that has been leading the reporting and analysis efforts on digital security in Eastern Europe this week, even as Russian officials ordered a stand-down today.
