As_I_Please writes "An Estonian youth has been arrested and charged in relation to the cyber attacks on the Estonian government last May. No evidence has been found linking the Russian government with the attacks.

From the article:

Dmitri Galushkevich, a 20-year-old Estonian student, launched the DoS (denial-of-service) attacks from his own PC last year. Although he's a native Estonian, Galushkevich was angry over his government's plans to move the statue, and launched the attack as a means of protesting the decision. The fact that a single angry student was able to impact international relations between two countries is an startling development.
