Russian cyber attacks crippled Georgian Web sites: Internet firm

Computers in Russia launched intense cyber attacks on Georgian government Web sites while Moscow's military struck in the former Soviet state, a U. S. Internet firm said yesterday. It was not clear if the cyber assaults were orchestrated by the Russian government, organized crime, "hacktivists" or others. Tom Burling, a Tulip Systems executive in San Francisco, said numbers identifying computers on the Internet show machines in Russia were used to attack Web sites for Georgia's presidency and a major television network. Tulip took over hosting for those Web sites on Saturday, a day after Russian forces poured into Georgia after Tbilisi attacked a Moscow-backed rebel province. The distributed-denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks began in the weeks running up to the outbreak of the Russia-Georgia conflict and continued on Tuesday after the Krem

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).

Google News Has Russian Army Invading Savannah, GA

theodp writes "If you checked out Google-wannabe Cuil, you learned that mapping search results to relevant images isn't a trivial task. But even Big Dog Google isn't immune to embarrassing graphics gaffes. Readers of Google News were shown that Russian troops are thrusting into the outskirts of Savannah, Georgia, thanks to the Google Maps graphic accompanying a story about Russian incursions into Georgia — the nation-state in the Caucasus, not the Caucasian-pride-ridden state in the southern US. Yahoo! Answers also had some fun with the GA-Georgia mix-up — 'I live in georegia but i dont see rusia no where not even sound but they says theres tanks should i be worrie' (Google cache) — before a spoilsport deleted the question."
