1 | Russia: Ustream.tv Attacked Over Russian Blogger | Rosia: Ustream.tv Voatafika Noho Ilay Bilaogera Rosiana |
2 | On the morning of May 9, 2012, unknown parties launched a DDoS (Distributed Denial of Service) attack on the live feed website Ustream.tv. | Ny marainan'ny 9 Mey 2012, nisy olo-tsy fantatra nanafika tamin'ny alalan'ny DDoS (Distributed Denial of Service) ny vohikala mpikarakara mivantana Ustream.tv. |
3 | According to Victoria Levy of Ustream.tv, the attack took place from thousands of unique IPs, based in Russia, Kazakhstan, and Iran. | Araka ny nolazain'i Victoria Levy avy ao amin'ny Ustream.tv, avy amin'ny IPs an'arivony, miorina any Rosia, Kazakhstan ary Iran ny fanafihana. |
4 | It was centered on one particular user, reggamortis1 [ru], who for the past four days has been covering opposition rallies and protests in Moscow. | Nitodika tany amin'ny mpisera iray manokana [ny fanafihana] izay tsy iza fa i, reggamortis1 [ru], ilay nampita ny fivorian'ny mpanohitra sy ny hetsi-panoherana ao Moskoa. |
5 | Although Ustream.tv began operating normally after ten hours of downtime, the reggamortis1 channel remained inaccessible for several more hours. | Tsy azo nidirana nandritra ny ora maro taty aoriana ny reggamortis1 na dia efa nanomboka niverina ara-dalàna aza ny Ustream.tv rehefa tsy nety nandeha nandritra ny folo ora. |
6 | CEO Brad Hunstable said in an interview with Global Voices that this was the most serious DDoS attack on the website ever. | Nilaza ny Filoha Tale Jeneraly Brad Hunstable nandritra ny tafatafa nifanaovana tamin'ny Global Voices fa ity no fanafihana DDoS henjana indrindra nihatra tamin'ny vohikala. |

8 | Ustream.tv makes it very easy to run live-streaming broadcasts from smart-phones, making it an invaluable resource for bloggers around the world. | Manamora sy manatsotra dia tsotra ny fandefasana mivantana amin'ny alalan'ny finday avo lenta [maharaka] ny Ustream.tv, ka mahatonga azy ho loharanom-pamoaham-baovao tsy hita pesipesenina ho an'ny bilaogera manerantany. |
9 | It reaches 55 million people monthly, and a staggering 125 hours of content are uploaded to the site per minute. | Mahazo olona 55 tapitrisa isan-taona, ary eo ho eo amin'ny votoaty maharitra 125 ora isa-minitra eo no misy mampakatra. |
10 | Ustream's mission, says Mr. Hunstable, is to provide a platform for people to share stories and build communities. | Iraky ny Ustream, hoy Atoa Hunstable, ny hanome sehatra ho an'ny olona hifampizarana tantara sy hananganana vondro-piaraha-monina. |
11 | True to this mission, Russian citizen journalists like Kirill Mikhailov, aka reggamortis1, who also tweets at @reggaemortis1 [ru] and blogs at reggae-mortis.livejournal.com [ru], have been utilizing the service to report on recent Russian protests in lieu of coverage by official Russian television networks. | Mifanaraka amin'izany iraka izany indrindra, nampiasa ny tolotra hitaterana ny hetsi-panoherana avy any am-potony, misolo ny toeran'ny televizionam-panjakana rosiana ilay olo-tsotra Rosiana tia mampita vaovao Kirill Mikhailov, na reggamortis1, izay misioka ao amin'ny @reggaemortis1 [ru] ihany koa ary mibilaogy ao amin'ny reggae-mortis.livejournal.com [ru]. |
12 | One such live broadcast, by user vova-moskva [ru], gained traction through Twitter on March 5. It covered the situation on Pushkinskaya Square in Moscow during the rally against Vladimir Putin's reelection. | Nahazo mpanaraka tamin'ny alalan'ny Twitter toy izany ihany koa tamin'ny 5 marsa ny fampitana mivantana nataon'ny mpisera vova-moskva [ru]. Mampita ny zava-mitranga tao amin'ny kianjan'i Pushkinskaya tao Moskoa nandritra ny fihaonana nifanaovana hanoherana ny nifidianana indray an'i Vladimir Putin izany. |
13 | Mikhailov blogged about the need for such action [ru] on February 29: | Mikhailov mibilaogy ny ilàna isian'ny tahaka izany [ru] tamin'ny 29 Febroary: |
14 | From every square we will need to maintain constant coverage and concentrate it in one place. | Hilaintsika ny isian'ny tatitra tsy mijanona avy amin'ny kianja tsirairay ary afantoka amin'ny toerana iray izany. |
15 | But that's for the future. | Saingy mbola indray andro any. |
16 | At this point Mikhailov was slightly behind the times. | Tara ihany i Mikhailov tamin'io resaka io. |
17 | The Ustream.tv channel of Ridus, a Russian citizen journalism platform, has been posting live feeds of protests starting last December, and has since collected well over two million live views. | Efa nandefa mivantana ny hetsika ihany ny Fantsona Ustream.tv an'i Ridus, sehatra Rosiana an'olo-tsotra tia mitati-baovao, hatramin'ny faran'ny volana desambra, ary efa nahazo mpijery mivantana nihoatra ny roa tapitrisa. |
18 | This type of guerilla reporting is in line with the general trend of internet-based news coverage in Russia. | Mifanaraka tsara amin'ny fironana ankapobeny amin'ny fitateram-baovao amin'ny alalan'ny aterineto ao Rosia izany fomba fitateram-baovao “mioko” izany. |
19 | For example, tvrain.ru [ru] is a liberal-leaning online television channel that often interviews opposition leaders and hosts them on its talk shows. | Ohatra, manome sehatra itafatafan'ny mpitarika mpanohitra sy mizara azy ireo matetika ny tvrain.ru [ru] izay televiziona an-tserasera manana fironana liberaly. |
20 | It recently provided a platform [ru] for new opposition darling Ksenia Sobchak after her political debate show had been forced out from mainstream television. | Vao nanome sehatra [ru] ho an'ilay ankafizin'ny mpanohitra Ksenia Sobchak indray izy taorian'ny nandrarana ny adihevitra politika nataony tsy hahazo hivoaka ny televiziona mahazatra. |
21 | On the other side of the barricades, MinaevLive [ru] is a live-streaming “internet-show” run by Sergei Minaev, a Russian writer and blogger with reputed ties to the Kremlin. | Etsy ankilan'ny sakanan-dalana [barricades], ny MinaevLive [ru] dia mpandefa mivantana “seho an'aterineto” kirakirain'i Sergei Minaev, mpanoratra sy mpibilaogy Rosiana malaza ho manana fifandraisana amin'i Kremlin. |
22 | His from-the-rooftops YouTube coverage of the May 6 March of the Millions was a four-hour bird's eye view of the conflict and its development. | Tatitra iray nahatratra ny faratampony tao amin'ny YouTube ny diaben'ny an-tapitrisa tamin'ny 6 mey milaza ny ora efatry ny fijerin'ny vorona momba ny ady sy ny fivoarany. |
23 | (A compressed and sped-up 4-minute YouTube version is located here.) | (Hita ato ny fanafainganana sy ny famatrarana azy ho efatra minitra ao amin'ny YouTube.) |
24 | The current DDoS attack on Ustream.tv is consistent with other attacks on Russian opposition websites and social networks. | Mifandrindra amin'ny fanafihana ny vohikala sy ny valan-tseraseran'ny Rosiana mpanohitra hafa ity fanafihana DDoS mahazo ny Ustream.tv ity. |
25 | RuNet Echo has previously covered DDoS attacks against Russian opposition media and blogs during the Russian parliamentary elections last December. | RuNet Echo moa efa nitatitra ny fisian'ny fanafihana DDoS natao tamin'ny fampitam-baovaon'ny rosiana mpanohitra nanedritra ny fifidianana parlemantera rosiana notontosaina tamin'ny volana desambra teo. |
26 | Ridus' Ustream.tv channel was likewise DDoS'd on December 6 and January 6. | Efa tratran'ny DDoS ihany ny Ustream.tv an'i Ridus tamin'ny 6 Desambra sy 6 Janoary. |
27 | Attacks on online media were most recently repeated during the March of the Millions. | Efa niverimberina matetika mandritra ny Diaben'ny an-tapitrisa ny fanafihana ny media an-tserasera. |
28 | “The tvrain.ru website isn't working, and so are the sites of Slon [slon.ru] and Echo Moskvy [echo.msk.ru],” tweeted @tvrain [ru] on May 6. | “Tsy mandeha ny tvrain.ru, ary toy izany ihany koa ny Slon [slon.ru] sy ny Echo Moskvy [echo.msk.ru],” hoy ny siokan'i @tvrain [ru] tamin'ny 6 Mey. |
29 | On the same day, General Director of Kommersant, Demian Kudriavtsev, warned on his Facebook [ru] that the daily newspaper's website was under a DDoS attack. | Tamin'io andro io ihany koa ny tale jeneralin'ny Kommersant, Demian Kudriavtsev, no nanaitra tao amin'ny Facebook-ny [ru] fa tratran'ny fanafihana DDoS ny vohikalan'ny gazety mivoaka isan'andro. |
30 | Echo's Varfolomeev gave the same reason [ru] for his site's erratic behavior. | Manome ny antony mitovy amin'izany ihany koa [ru] ny ako nataon'i Varfolomeev noho ny fihetsiky ny tranonkalany. |
31 | Perhaps because of this Mikhailov, an opposition activist from Ufa [ru] who charmingly calls himself “Navalny's battle-hamster,” doesn't put all of his eggs in one basket. | Angamba noho izany toe-javatra izany no nahatonga an'i Mikhailov, mpikatroka mpanohitra avy amin'ny Ufa [ru] izay milaza ny tenany ho “Hamster mpiadin'i Navalny” no tsy mametraka ny atody reehtra ho anaty harona iray. |
32 | Although he has been using Ustream.tv since April 15 [ru], during the May 9 attack on his channel he switched to a Bambuser.com account (Bambuser is a streaming service similar to Ustream) to continue his coverage. | Na dia nampîasa ny Ustream.tv aza izy hatramin'ny15 Avrily [ru], nivadika kaonty Bambuser.com kosa izy nandritra ny fanafihana ny fantsom-baovaony tamin'ny 9 mey (mitovitovy fiasa ihany ny Bambuser sy ny Ustream) hanohizany ny fitantarany. |
33 | On his blog he also lists the Ustream channel of his colleague, romanpomych, whose stream was up while Mikhailov's was down. | Ao amin'ny bolongany ihany koa izy no manome ny lisitr'ireo miasa miaraka aminy, romanpomych, izay nandeha rehefa tsy tafa ny an'i Mikhailov. |
34 | Before his current project, Mikhailov had been covering the Astrakhan hunger strike (Global Voices coverage is here and here), in which he participated as one of the strikers. | Talohan'ny nanaovany ity tetikasa ity i Mikhailov dia efa nitatitra ny fitokonana tsy hihinan-kanina nataon'i Astrakhan (fampitam-baovaon'i Global Voices hitanao ato sy ato), izay andraisany anjara ho anisan'ny mitokona tsy hisakafo. |
35 | Incredibly, he is conducting another hunger strike [ru] at the moment, even as he is running around Moscow and reporting. | Tsy mampino fa mitokona tsy hihinankanina [ru] indray izy amin'izao fotoana izao, na dia mihazakazaka manerana an'i Moskoa mampita vaovao aza. |
36 | Amidst all of this activity, Mikhailov has found time to write an email [ru] to Ustream.tv, in which he implicates the Russian government and the youth group Nashi in the attacks: | Ao anatin'izany raharahany rehetra izany, mbola mahita fotoana hanoratana mailaka any amin'ny Ustream.tv ihany i Mikhailov hiampangany ny fitondrana rosiana sy ny tanoran'ny vondrona Nashi ho tompon'andraikitra tamin'ny fanafihana: |
37 | […] Russia actively tracks the current events thanks to your website. | […] Ankasitrahana ny vohikalanareo fa arahina akaiky ny zavamisy eto Rosia amin'izao fotoana izao. |
38 | This is the only source of communication, thanks to which we will find out how Putin is killing our citizens. | Ity ihany no loharanom-pifandraisana tokana, misaotra amin'ny hahitanay ny famonoan'i Putin ny olom-pirenenay. |
39 | […] Your site currently doesn't work only because of these bastards - kremlin.ru and nashi.su. | […] Tsy mandeha ny tranonkalanareo noho ireo tsy vanona ireo - kremlin.ru and nashi.su. |
40 | These people, under Putin's orders, rob the people of information and are trying to hide the mayhem happening in the capital of Russia and are conducting a DDoS attack against ustream.tv. | Ireo olona ireo, eo ambany fibaikoan'i Putin, no mandroba ny vaovao ho an'ny olona sy manafina izay mitranga ao an-drenivohitr'i Rosia ka mitondra ny fanafihana amin'ny alalan'ny DDoS ny ustream.tv. |
41 | Brad Hunstable also finds the attack very disturbing. | Hitan'i Brad Hunstable ho nanelingelina tokoa ny fanafihana. |
42 | To him, someone is trying to take away the right of global citizens to speak and be heard, in essence subverting his company's mission. | Aminy, misy mitady hanaisotra ny zon'olo-pirenena manerantany hiteny sy hohenoina, izany hoe manao izay hanodinana ny iraka ampanaovina ny orinasa. |
43 | Currently, Ustream.tv is debating the best response to the situation. | Mbola miady hevitra amin'ny fomba hamaliana tsara indrindra ny toe-draharaha moa amin'izao fotoana izao ny Ustream.tv. |
44 | In the meantime, and in a gesture of defiance, they have added a Russian-language option to the website: | Mandritra izany ary ho toy ny fihaikana avy amin-dry zareo, nampiany fahafaha-misafidy ny teny Rosiana ao amin'ny vohikala: |
