Estonia Hosts Georgian Web Sites


With the cyber attacks on Georgia, the government of Estonia is temporarily hosting Web sites of Georgia's central bank and Foreign Ministry, reports The Associated Press in a story on Newsvine.com. A Georgian news portal in English is hosted there as well.

Estonia faced its own cyber attacks last year. Georgia has transferred other key Web sites to servers in countries such as Poland and France.

Meanwhile, The Washington Post profiles a University of Toronto lab that has stepped up monitoring of cyber attacks, saying Internet assaults are growing as a part of military strategy and political struggles.
