I have been hearing quotes like:

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?

If you even asked the question you deserve to stay single.
:o)


Does that mean I have to stop sleeping with yer daughter? ;-)

So you would agree that it wasn't just a solitary student, or want to
remain vague for posterities sake?
