Is it a matter of the Estonian government sites filtering their traffic?
Nazario: It’s not just within the Estonian government but also within their providers. The Estonian providers are, of course, working with a much larger community–the European providers, the North American providers (and) Asian providers that give them inbound traffic as well as the attack traffic. They’re working with people to identify the root cause of these attacks and shut them down, as well as push the traffic back even further to alleviate those problems without disrupting normal service. The number of people required to help them do this is rather high, given the size of the staff that they have and that they don’t normally see those kinds of things.
