In 2007, when Estonia’s government moved a World War II statue commemorating Soviet war dead, hackers retaliated with a costly denial-of-service attack that closed down Estonia’s access to the internet. There was no way to prove whether the Russian government, a spontaneous nationalist response, or both aided this transnational attack.
2007年，当爱沙尼亚政府迁移纪念苏联战争期间为国捐躯者们的二战雕像时，黑客们的报复是花费昂贵的拒绝服务攻击，使爱沙尼亚的互联网处于瘫痪。也无法证明是俄罗斯政府还是自发的民族主义反应，或两者都协助了这次跨国攻击。
