Cyber Attacks In Estonia

Where the fuck is Estonia is what you’re probably asking…

Estonia has been hit by a prolonged series of “cyber attacks” that disrupted leading websites and caused alarm in Europe and the Nato alliance, it emerged last night.

While the Baltic nation and its former master, Russia, are locked in their worst dispute since the collapse of the Soviet Union over the removal of a Soviet war memorial in Tallinn, Estonia has been subjected to a barrage of web assaults, disabling sites for the government, banks, newspapers, private companies and political parties.

Nato last night was reported to have sent internet experts to investigate the attacks as an “operational security issue” that go “to the heart of the alliance’s modus operandi.”

Thanks Julia. You need a special nickname so I can direct things obliquely to you…

    Yeah totally! You’re always talking about how you don’t so much like your job and there is all this like weird conflict there which you are always mediating somehow. At least, that’s how I perceive it all through our limited online interactions!

    Yeah, I guess so. I’ve worked there for 18 years so there’s a lot of baggage. BTW I work at a work release center so it’s a good fit.
