The Internet and Democracy Project at Harvard reports that the Russian invasion of Georgia has been accompanied by denial of service attacks on official Georgian websites, including the President’s Office, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and the Ministry of Defense.
In addition, I've noticed that Russia has loosed its most fearsome weapon of cyberwarfare: Internet trolls! A number of low-volume blogs which I've seen have gotten incoherent pro-Russian comments in unusual volume. (Most often they claim there was no invasion!) It will be interesting to see if mentioning Russia and Georgia draws them here.
