Estonia promises Georgia help in fighting a cyberwar

Estonian authorities have promised Georgia assistance and advice in how to battle in a cyberwar.

Estonian officials say that the DDoS attacks targeted against Georgia were very similar to the attacks made against Estonian websites in 2007 after the removal of the Bronze Soldier monument.

Unofficially, Estonia and Georgia have been discussing the possibility to send a special team of online security specialists to Georgia. A representative of the Development Centre of State Information Systems said that by now Georgia has not yet made a formal proposal. “This will be decided by the government,” said the official.

As you notice, EU tries to solve a problem. The French president tries to compromise in this conflict. He is not accusing one party.
Always, if there is a conflict between parties, both have some guilt of it.
Estonia is accusing one party only.
This has to do with frustration and emotions.
If a land has leaders, which act with frustration and emotions, then it will give very bad results.
And do not forget, that Estonia chose in a referendum to join EU. In the EU they like team players. You can judge for your self, if Estonia ia a teamplayer in general.

I fully concur with Tallin's comments on RM. RM, you're bordering on the line of being a disgrace to this forum. Why, don't you leave Estonia?

RM. Why don't YOU forget about Estonia and go work for Pravda? Your skills of hate and twisted logic would be invaluable there.
