Hey all,
Here’s a quick something I posted during Talk of the Nation:
The moderators mentioned this in passing, but “Denial of Service” Spam campaigns are already used as political attacks. When Estonia took down a statue of a Russian soldier (precious to Russian Estonians but disliked by native Estonians)

Russian sponsored spammers shut down Estonia’s governmental websites as retribution for the Statue’s removal. Turns out NATO has cyber-terrorism units. Spam, not just for ID anymore.
