Estonian cyber defence

A few months ago Estonia was under attack, not the normal shoot as many rounds as you can hoping that one of your bullets will kill some one. No in fact it was a cyber war, Russia was annoyed that Estonia remove the bronze statue of a Red Army soldier in the center of Tallinn. So you can guess what they did next, Its quite clever really but highly risked. They had two options, one of them was use their computers or the second one was send out zombies to computers (like Trojans) and they all connect to the same server/website/country's system and there is so much information, as you've guessed it just simply crashes and dies. The only problem with them both is that in order to do so you need to send out the virus first, that leaves a signal of your IP, but they would have been clever and spoofed it, Now once it is downloaded your zombiefied computer needs to receive instructions, so the creator of the virus sends out the target and they start attacking the website by using up lots of data, in fact too much that it even crashes it. But to send out the command you will need to send out a signal which also contains your IP which has been spoofed. So in the end all of CIA and the MI6 tech boffs will have to find the IP that went to spoof the IP and it can go on for years. Crashing a developing country's internet especially when it needs it will bring the country to a stand still so Germany, Slovakia, Latvia, Lithuania, Italy and Spain will help and fund the hub in the Estonian capital Tallinn to protect the security. A Nato spokesman, James Appathurai said after a signing ceremony in Brussels "We have seen in Estonia that a cyber attack can swiftly become an issue of national security," and also said "Cyber attacks can cripple societies". After all these disputes it's quite simple that every one will be ready for the next cyber attack, but this time they won't be surprised. They will be waiting.
