At least one more good article about a real security and not about burrowing deeper into the lawyers' ass... There's NO any "innocent third party" who was used to attack you - it's GUILT because of leaving the system opened for subvertions. There's no "steal from one who stealed something from you" - it's a self-defence... Or when someone kicks your in the face at dark street you'll be citing a Code of Law or just hit him back? Attackers must be : disharmed for you, diverted and destroyed - if it's a bot network - destroy 'em all. In hardware level, if possible.
