Abstract

Distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks against Estonian computers were completed inexpensively enough to seriously call into question any assumptions that they were coordinated or run by agents of the Russian government. Indeed, motivated businesses and organization now have many resources within easy reach to launch botnet attacks.
