The DDOS: "We are not your enemies!"

Many are already aware of the incident last week for Twitter and many other websites going down and being inaccessable. It is known technically as a "щебет-перерыв" (Twitterbork), and some had suspicions that it had been an attempt by the Russian Federation to silence a single lone Georgian blogger.

If the incident really did involve Russian Spyware, then it is of the utmost interest to the Weblog of watching & supervision for global Russian spy activity.

It would truly fascinate us to know if the Twitterbork was the latest in a long line of Russian internet attacks, which have been responsible for such notable overreactions as the one against Estonia's government, or the one targeting Georgia's tie-eating President Mikheil Saakashvili.

However, only the other day, the Russian Spy Watch was taken down from the internetscape. Access to "blogger", the control centre of the Russian Spy Watch Network, was restricted and Comrade Ilyich was denied to be allowed in for a long while.

It is with this background that Russian Spy Watch wishes to send the following message to the operators of the Russian Spyware: We are not your enemies! I seek only to understand you!
