- the ultimate goal of all of this is the maoniulatpin of the LJ audience that aims as disbursing them across other social networks and standalons, where, quite obviously, it is much easier to fight against individual users. The only question is - will we fall for it or not. This is war and, unfortunately, war can't exist without casualties." writes. Monday, saw a new DDoS-attack on Livejournal servers. This was the second cyber-attack on the popular blogging service. During the previous weeks, hackers also attacked LJ. It was knocked out of service for seven hours, though the attack itself lasted longer. SUP, the owner of Livejournal blogging service, is considering the possibility of filing a declaration law enforcement agencies that they will pursue criminal charges against the hackers that attacked Livejournal. The [Communist Party of Russian Federation] is concerned about hacker attacks on Livejournal. In the run-up to elections, the access to information on the Internet becomes part of the political fighting. It is possible that the party will voice their concerns at the upcoming meeting with President Dmitri Medvedyev.One of the most popular Russian bloggers,journalist and net project specialist Anton Nosik, mentioned the "Ours" movement[A youth movement loyal to the ruling United Russia Party] when commenting on the DDoS-attack on LJ last week in his column on the "Snob" [magazine] website.In other words, this is more speculation that Powers That Be behind United Russia wants to get rid of Livejournal because it has trouble controlling Russian blogosphere. Personally, I am not convinced. If the government really wanted to take out Livejournal, it would use some pretext to cancel SUP's business license, cease its servers in the name of national security and shut it down (see - Putin's destruction of Russia's independent televisions, the campaign against Yukos oil company, etc). Besides, as I mentioned earlier, Livejournal is the most popular blogging platform in Livejournal. United Russia leadership may wish for a more cooperative blogosphere, but its not in their interests to shut it down altogether.
