POPSRussia Conducts Cyber-Attack On Georgian Government Websites Last April the computer systems of the Estonian Government came under attack in a co-ordinated three-week assault widely credited to state-sponsored Russian hackers. The wave of attacks came after a row erupted over the removal of the Bronze Soldier Soviet war memorial in Tallinn, the Estonian capital. The websites of government departments, political parties, banks and newspapers were all targeted. Analysts have immediately accused the Russian Business Network (RBN), a network of criminal hackers with close links to the Russian mafia and government, of the Georgian attacks. Jart Armin, a researcher who runs a website tracking the activity of the RBN, has released data claiming to show that visits to Georgian sites had been re-routed through servers in Russia and Turkey, where the traffic was blocked. Armin said the servers "are well known to be under the control of RBN and influenced by the Russian Government."

POPSIran's President Launches Blog (Yes, For Real!) If this isn't a sign of the times, I don't know what is. Because overwhelming traffic this morning took down the site (English version would have been here ), I clipped a pic of what Ahmadinejad 's first entry looked like, as well as the news story on Yahoo. Fun fact #1: Mahmoud invites visitors to vote in his online poll: "Do you think that the U.S. and Israeli intention and goal by attacking Lebanon is pulling the trigger for another world war?" the president asks visitors to the site, offering them the choice to vote 'yes' or 'no'. Fun fact #2: Mahmoud's blog uses RSS feeds and AJAX and runs on a (illegally acquired?) Windows .NET server .
