As more and more governmental operations go online, and as electronic commerce is targeted, this crosses traditional boundaries with regards to how one defines terrorism.I disagree. Guerilla warfare, perhaps, but terrorism? I don't see anything here that induces public terror, or even fear. Identity theft is a pain, but as far as I've been able to tell it's not the sort of thing that provokes the kind of terror that makes "terrorism" an appropriate label.
It would seem to be more appropriate for Interpol to act as a clearinghouse or enabler for national LEOs to track down the miscreants. I admit not knowing if Interpol has the appropriate agreements in place with either/both Estonia and the source(s) of the attacks. For that matter, does Interpol have the internal infrastructure/clue to deal with international cybercrime? Or are they where the US FBI was a decade ago?
