  "In a report to be issued this weekend, the researchers said that the system was being controlled from computers based almost exclusively in China, but that they could not say conclusively that the Chinese government was involved." Control of the botnet from one particular country would be persuasive evidence of some involvement by persons in that country. The article does note that more follow-up investigation is needed.

    "Control of the botnet from one particular country would be persuasive evidence of some involvement by persons in that country." Hedging your bets?

  Is it just my ISP (or, more likely, my machines), or can anyone else get to the report? infowar-monitor.net seems to be managed by The SecDev Group, with an email address pointing to a domain that claims it's mission/project is over. I am curious to read more of the report... Or maybe I am jumping the gun: "researchers' findings... due to be released this weeekend."

    My impatience is showing again. Working now, please disregard the question.
