Estonian government - Major DDoS website attacks

Large-scale DDoS attacks can overwhelm a website to the point that regular users cannot access these resources.  I'm hopeful that the civil unrest will stop and that differences can be worked out more diplomatically.

Unrest in Estonia

QUOTE:  For the past days, there's been unrest and rioting in Estonia.  We're now seeing large attacks against websites run by Estonian goverment. Some of the sites are unreachable. Others are up, but do not allow any traffic from foreign IP addresses.

Quoting CNN: "Police arrested 600 people and 96 were injured in a second night of clashes in Estonia's capital over the removal of a disputed World War Two Red Army monument ... Russia has reacted furiously to the moving of the monument ... Estonia has said the monument had become a public order menace as a focus for Estonian and Russian nationalists."
