Anti-Georgia Russian hackers may have been behind yesterday’s global cyber attacks on Google, Facebook and Twitter.
The organised web assaults completely shut down social networking site Twitter and disrupted access to Facebook — nearly a year to the day since the outbreak of the Georgia-Russia war.
Search engine Google was also targeted but managed to fend off the “denial-of-service” attacks.
Hackers used the popular technique to hijack thousands of computers and use them to send messages to a target website at the same time — causing it to crash. (FOX News)
