Map of alleged bomb attacks on Georgia from the RBN blog (usually dedicated to exposing the activities of an organisation called RBN)

The conflict between Russia and Georgia is not just in the physical world according to Wired. There has been an increase in Denial of Service attacks on Georgian government sites attributed by some to Russia.

Whilst the world is attempting to halt the escalation of the conflict, the Georgian Ministry of Foreign Affairs seems to be getting intelligence reports out using blog networks. For the more technical blog reader, more information appears to be held on this post at IntelFusion.

UPDATE: IntelFusion reports that cyberattacks have been extended to blog hosting sites in the US and media outlets in Azerbaijan report similar hits.
