Abstract

The evolution of the technology and the changes in the organization and control of the critical infrastructures of the nations are creating a new combat front. The case studied in this paper refers to the attack to the information systems of the Georgian organizations that occurred at the same time as the conventional military operation executed by the Russian army in the South Ossetia in August 2008. The data collected and presented in this paper showed the existence of a poorly organized network, related to Russian criminal organizations, raising the possibility of this case being an instance of the Maoist concept of the "People's war". This paper will also show that, despite the unsophisticated resources used in the attacks and to promote them, the damages in the selected targets were considerable.
