Estonia has now entered into the Russian-Georgian conflict in a unique way by sending cyber defense experts to help protect against Russian hackers. Estonia is highly experienced in this regard as they themselves faced a barrage of attacks by Russian hackers earlier this year.

“Estonia will send to Georgia two specialists in information security from the Computer Emergency Response Team (CERT) Estonia, Foreign Ministry representatives told the Baltic News Service.”

The interesting aspect of this development that for Russia to respond to this development would directly imply that they are directly behind and responsible for the ongoing cyber attacks against official and unnoficial Georgian websites. Depending on if or how Russia responds to this news could mean that Estonia has also entered into the fray.
