Cyber war and SEO defence
The web Georgian Internet nation was target of a coordinated cyber attack by Russian server, which compromised several government sites with defacement and denial of service attacks, and stop the nation’s ability to disseminate information. Good lesson for the future cyber attak.The Ministry of Defense website was unavailable for viewing from the U.K. The Web sites for both the Georgian presidential office and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Georgia were available, but was due to Georgian redirection work. Denial of service attacks are conducted when a coordinated network of computers sends multiple requests to a given server or computer at exactly the same time, which subsequently shuts down the targeted computer under the barrage of incoming requests .
The cyber attacks ultimately prompted the Georgian governmental sites to switch to U.S. based hosts, while Georgia’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs moved to a blogspot account. Cyber war has extended to the Russian news agency RIA Novosti was offline by DDos attack (DDoS attacks consist of overloading websites with so many online requests that systems crash) for 10 hours over Sunday night and Monday morning. Russian based servers AS12389 ROSTELECOM, AS8342 RTCOMM, AS8359 COMSTAR and with the more recent addition of AS8631 Routing Arbiter for Moscow Internet Exchange, are still in a commanding position. AS9121 TTNet of Turkey still remains routed through the Russian servers, not directly to Georgia. But alternative links have been made to AS35805 UTG AS United Telecom of Georgia and other servers based in Georgia.
We don’t know the real sources of the attacks but the first coordinated cyber attacks against Georgia was detected in July, around one weeks before Russia launched its military intervention. Experts say that attacks launched in tandem with military conflict will likely increase as more global infrastructure is controlled by the Internet.
In 2007, disruptions of Internet service in Estonia like Georgia, formerly a political division of the Russia dominated Soviet Union prompted talk of those events as possibly the first ever cyberwar, but in this case Georgian cybersiege was more coordinated, professional and sophisticated . Anyway in this website we combat against to the cyberwar and cybercriminal , we assisting all the organizations or private company to the SEO defence and intenet promotion.

A very good article. Thanks for keeping us informed. An idea for a future column would be to lool how US political leaders are treating the attack.

The trouble with cyberspace is that it will allways be vunerable to outside government forces to tamper with. The web is as we all know not strtictly controlled which can be a good thing or a bad thing depending on your point of view.
But as much as government denials prevail there are many other sources that take full advantage of the internet to scam innocent people out of their hard earned, The message is if it sounds to good to be true then it probably is!MaxHomeBits

Cyber Wars may the demise of us yet. How do we stop it? Every new, fool-proof system is followed closely behind by a program that breaks into it. We must stay alert to this and it’s the responsibility of each of us to report any unusal Internet activity.

Thanks for the update. I’ve also read that the attacks might have been outsourced by the Russian gov’t to the mafia so that it couldn’t be tracked back to them…it’s a crazy world for sure.

That’s quite interesting considering it was a bunch of Georgian hackers who took down a lot of Wordpress blogs across the world a few months back.

I feel like collateral damage in the cyber war fare. Over the last month, we’ve had a range of security problems as trojans tried to highjack our computers and servers making them into zombies for their war. I can’t prove that it’s connected to their warfare but it feels like it is. Good post. PS - found you thru the myblogcatalog connection - johnegood
