It would seem to be more appropriate for Interpol to act as a clearinghouse or enabler for national LEOs to track down the miscreants. I admit not knowing if Interpol has the appropriate agreements in place with either/both Estonia and the source(s) of the attacks. For that matter, does Interpol have the internal infrastructure/clue to deal with international cybercrime? Or are they where the US FBI was a decade ago?
