Computers and the Internet have become part of Estonia's national identity. In 2007, Estonia was the first country to be hit by a cyber attack. After that, an e-cyber division of the army was established, staffed by concerned citizens and intended to keep hackers out. Estonia has been at the forefront of digital innovation for some time. For example, Estonians have been able to vote in elections via the internet since 2005. Many technology companies have also been established, such as Skype.
