Estonia

The minister of defense checked the Web page again — still nothing. He stared at the error message: For some reason, the site for Estonia's leading newspaper, the Postimees, wasn't responding. Jaak Aaviksoo attempted to pull up the sites of a couple of other papers. They were all down. The former director of the University of Tartu Institute of Experimental Physics and Technology d been the Estonian defense minister for only four weeks. He hadn't even changed the art on the walls.

If you flip towards the back of this month's Wired magazine (15.09) you'll find an earnest two-page graphic depicting IP packets blasting off like ICBMs from Asia, arcing in a polar trajectory and slamming into six defenseless U.S. cities.
Estonia's computer emergency response team responded to the junk packets with technical aplomb and coolheaded professionalism, while Estonia's leadership … well, didn't. Faced with DDoS and nationalistic, cross-border hacktivism -- nuisances that have plagued the rest of the wired world for the better part of a decade -- Estonia's leaders lost perspective.
"When I look at a nuclear explosion, and the explosion that happened in our country in May, I see the same thing."
