Do most of the ddos attacks actually come from China? I thought they came from botnets of pwned PC's all over the world.

We're talking about who controls the ddos. Where the devices end up is different.

I haven't seen anything about originations on recent broad internet attacks - any good links? Having done "internet work" for about 20 years, it seems like a reasonable statement, but they certainly are getting harder to pinpoint.

I am pretty sure there was nothing really pointing to china so far. Any links?
