The following article appeared in Novaya Gazeta on May 31, 2007. I’m reproducing it here for three reasons: (1) because it is relevant to the current DDoS attacks against a Georgian blogger, (2) because it covers the history behind the relationship between Russian hackers and the Kremlin via the Federal Security Service (FSB), and (3) because I wouldn’t be surprised if it disappeared from the archives at some point in the future.
Note: This is a machine translation courtesy of Google Translate. I’ve included both the original Russian text and the rather poor English translation. If anyone would like to contribute a clean translation for me, I’ll publish it here on a second page.
