Re: Large-Scale Website Attacks Due to Unrest in Estonia

[Juha-Matti Laurio <juha-matti.laurio () netti fi>]

The Web site of Eesti Politsei lists only the telephone number and address and a short statement now:

"Eesti Politsei, telefon 110, Pärnu mnt 139, Tallinn 15060

Vihjetelefonid 27.04.2007

Estonian language text
...
--clip--"

Vihjetelefonid stands for a specific telephone number, which helps to leave a tip to the police.

The FS posting stated
www.pol.ee (Estonian Police): reachable

Maybe the police switched to this text-only version because of heavy traffic. There are no any navigation links etc. 
included.
