We don't know whether the government is behind the attacks, though reportedly many Estonians are convinced and the Estonian government is strongly convinced. But a government that, it appears, kills dissenters abroad and dissenting journalists at home would be quite capable of organizing a politically beneficial DDoS attack on a neighbor. The evidence is no conclusive in any of these cases and the denials of the Russian government are firm.
