Estonia "Cyberwar" Just a single person?

I have been hearing quotes like:

"The fact that a single student was able to trigger such events is
particularly ominous when you consider just how many potential
flashpoints exist between various countries all over the world. The
DoS attack against Estonia is an excellent example of how a
cyberattack carried out by a 20-year-old student in response to
real-life events further exacerbated an existing problem between two
nations."


Gadi, you were involved in investigating this, was it really just one student?
