Cyber-Peace Keepers Head To Georgia To Battle Russia
Aug 12th, 2008 by MrGroove
Yesterday I wrote about Russia moving their Offensive against Georgia onto the Internet. I posed a question about the mobilization of a "Cyber-Peace Keeping". Well, according to a ComputerWorld article, Estonia and Poland are in fact heading to Georgia to help battle the Cyber-War / Cyber-Attacks from Russia.
The article also mentions Georgia moving some of their web sites out of the country and even a few to the US, leveraging Google to has and distribute news of the Russian Invasion.
Anyway, as I mentioned earlier in yesterdays post:
I’m talking about the conflict between Russia and Georgia because of the Technology Cyber-War / involvement, not because I want to make any Political statement. Although I have my opinions, groovyPost is not the place I like to share them.

Excellent write-up. I agree. Don’t care much about the politics (there are always more than 1 side to any conflict) however the cyber-war going on is pretty scary. I wonder if russia attacking the googles sites would be an act of war against the US since they sit on US “cyber” soil?

Thanks for the feedback Josh. In answer to your question, I would assume no. However, if it could be proven that the attacks were coming from the Russian Government or sponsored from the Russian Government….. Possibly a different story.
That said, even if it was funded by Vladimir, it would be hard if not impossible to prove.

nice piece. personally, i dont see what all the fuss is. survival of the fittest! if russia wants to take over a country, go for it. as long as they dont torture civilians and such, if they have the power, take it. thats how its worked for thousands of years! why is today any different?

@shockersh – Well, I’m sure there’s several reasons why today is different however, like I said I’m more interested in the Technology aspect of the discussion rather than the political.
