Thanks for the link. While the 2014 article you linked does mislabel The University of Illinois at Urbana Champagne as "Illinois University", it conspicuously does not even mention the specific details you chide it for: population details, NSA vs NCSA, so many IP addresses, or number of airports. As such, it seems like an odd "last straw" regarding RT's accuracy in reporting facts. Did you maybe link the wrong article, or am I maybe I'm failing to understand your sense of humor, and in fact you are making a subtle joke about the implausibility of using apparent IP address location to assign blame for a DDOS?

I didn't read the link I posted directly (as I said, I will not give them the clicks), so I didn't verify that it was exactly as I recalled. The article I read definitely did mention the airports (since I spent quite a bit of time staring at the satellite view trying to figure out what they thought the third airport was), so it's possible I found a cleaned-up version of the article when trying to find it again. (FWIW, the town is Champaign, not Champagne).
