  <shrugs>  Any IP address you find in a packet of a DDoS coming towards you
is pretty likely not to be the "source" of the attack.  So far there's no
evidence to show anything other than that the russian .gov is just as liable
to have virused and botted machines on its internal nets as the US .gov.
