Interpol has the appropriate agreements in place with either/both Estonia

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

Not very encouraging. Where has he been? Living under a a rock? :-)
