  • Today, the devs of TinyTwitter have pushed out a great new update with one feature I’ve been waiting for since I saw it on Twittelator for the iPhone: TwitPic integration! Now you can append pics to your tweets instead of emailing them.

    The second update includes Geolocation. So if your phone has GPS you can now share those ridiculous longitude and latitude numbers that no one really knows how to decipher without going on the web to find out. It also posts to your timeline along with a Live Maps link.

  • Other Internet experts in the United States said the attacks against Georgia’s Internet infrastructure began as early as July 20, with coordinated barrages of millions of requests — known as distributed denial of service, or D.D.O.S., attacks — that overloaded and effectively shut down Georgian servers.

  • The second real cyber was has broken out. On August 8th, Russian troops crossed into South Ossetia vowing to defend what they called “Russian compatriots”. As this was taking place, a multi-faceted cyber attack began against the Georgian infrastructure and key government web sites. The attack modalities included: Defacing of Web Sites (Hacktivism), Web-based Psychological Operations (Psyc-Ops), a fierce propaganda campaign (PC) and of course a Distributed Denial of Service Attacks (DDoS).
