It appears that a Brazilian user known as The Zart managed to participated in the Russia vs Georgia cyber attacks circa 2009 relying on a variety of tools and techniques known as:

- Targeted Spreading of Vulnerable Legitimate Web Sites
- Automated Web-Site Exploitation - Long Tail of The Malicious Web
which basically resulted in a self-mobilized militia that actually participated and launched the Russia vs Georgia cyber attacks circa 2009.
