RT attacked
In the course of the last 24 hours RT’s website (www.russiatoday.com) has endured numerous DDoS attacks, which have made it unavailable for some time. Channel’s security specialists say the initial attack was carried out from an IP-address registered in the Georgian capital Tbilisi. RT’s team apologizes for the inconvenience and gives a list of comprehensive external resources on the Georgian-South Ossetian conflict which can be used, should the attacks continue.

Russia and Georgia are both currently engaged in a sophisticated, full-scale propaganda and cyber war.

Attacks would include media outlets that seem to represent the opposing side.

I suppose that could be an explanation as to why the media coverage of this has been quite poor.On another thread i read...seemingly georgian cities are not on the google map no morecould this be down to cyberwarfare too?

Or perhaps the google-sat did a flyover and the cities are actually gone?

I heard this on the radio. Russia knocked out Georgia websites and I guess now Georgia is returning the favor.

I will cross-post this into this thread as well as it is related:

Estonia sending cyber defense experts to Georgia

this annoyed me not being able to get on rt. And we're supposed to believe that some group called anti leaks has this much computing power to do it. How about the CIA et al.

So the KGB, I mean RT news is getting DDOS'd by other folk?

I'm not surprised. That whole broadcasting company is a KGB psy op, probably one of the most successfull propaganda campaigns ever devised.
