E eu que desisti das lides hackarianas há uns anos...Provavelmente tinha mais saída no mercado de trabalho se tivesse enveredado por aí. Entretanto, Rússia, Estónia e Lituânia lá se vão divertindo com mal entendidos e tomadas de posição:
Hackers attacked about 300 Web sites in Lithuania during the weekend, defacing them with Soviet symbols and anti-Lithuanian slogans, officials said Monday.
The sabotage of the Web sites occurred two weeks after Lithuania, a former Soviet republic, outlawed the display of Soviet symbols. The ban touched off new tensions with Russia.
Lithuanian officials did not directly accuse Russian hackers of initiating the attacks, but said they had come from foreign computers and were most likely related to the ban.
Last year, Web sites in Estonia, another Baltic nation and former Soviet republic that has rocky relations with Russia, were bombarded with cyberattacks after Estonian officials removed a statue of a Red Army soldier from the center of the capital, Tallinn, provoking violent disturbances.
Some Estonian officials contended that Russia was behind the attacks, but the Kremlin said it had no role in them.
