Bruce Sterling on the Estonian Cyberwar
Thursday, September 20th, 2007Here is the talk Bruce Sterling gave at Korea University last week about the Estonian Cyberwar.
In this eye-opening presentation, Bruce explains what happened to Estonia earlier this year when the country’s infrastructures got down following by a massive DDOS attack. He shares his theory that a Russian group of hackers called the Zhelatin gang might be behind the attacks, and were actually only flexing the muscles of the world’s largest and most powerful botnet.
Anybody who is involved in the infrastructure side of a large business should watch this. We’ve been warned.
