An anonymous reader writes "In what seems to be a repeat of what happened in July, a few news sites have mentioned that there is evidence of a concerted Russian cyber-warfare campaign against Georgia. For example, both the government's and the president's sites are inaccessible, among other official websites. For some analysis, the RBN Exploit blog demonstrates various traceroutes that have failed to several sites. They also claim that the RBN (Russian Business Network cyber-crime organisation) are behind the attacks, and that "Many of Georgia's internet servers were under external control from late Thursday", before the actual war began. Finally, according to this Twitter account of someone in Georgia (written in Russian), he claims that "Russia has blocked access to Georgian websites from within Russia" (rough translation)."
