We’ve kept you updated in respect to the latest round of social media DDoS attacks that have left many sites, most notably, Twitter, crawling back to its feet.
A blog post titled “The Adventure Continues” confirms the stories that indicate the attacks are in fact politically motivated and highly co-ordinated. If reports are true, the attacks are meant for one blogger named Cyxymu from the Eastern European country of Georgia who is an outspoken supporter of his country.
