This new wave of protests

Russian electoral started badly. Early in the morning, three hours before the polls open, the site of my paper was reduced after he was subjected to a distributed denial of service attack by unknown hackers.

An hour later, hackers attacked the website of the Echo of Moscow radio, then a succession of other sites. "My God, how scary that [the authorities] should be" was the text message that turned around once it became clear that the pirates had attacked a liberal all over the internet. Even the Russian LiveJournal thread was attacked.

is unlikely that a coordinated and simultaneous attack in the entire cohort of liberal media could have been done by amateurs. Everything was done with the same technology as in the past has been deployed against the government websites in Estonia and Georgia.
