When Estonia was cyber-attacked by hundreds of thousands of computers across the world, the little country was literally cut-off economically from the rest of the Cyber World, for nearly a month, the Honarable Lauri Almann, Under-Secretary of Defense for Estonia, told SBLive!’s Tom Pace.

That’s why this first-ever Cyber Symposium held in Shreveport, Louisiana

Almann praised the United States for its immediate response and help in getting Estonia back “on-line”…concluding with a big “Thank You.”
