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?
