Russian denial-of-service attack on the country of Estonia in 2007

Cyberattacks during the 2008 South Ossetia war between Georgia and Russia

Explain how the technique was used and what the outcome was for the victim.

What has the victim (country or person) done since the cyber attack to prevent similar attacks from occurring, in the future?
