    You are aware that IP spoofing exists? It’s not impossible for the hacker to have appeared to have been connecting from many different connections.

      Yes I am, as I’m sure you are aware that IP spoofing is pretty much only relevant where you are sending outgoing packets (like in a DDoS attack) and do not expect to receive any information back. If you need two-way communication over TCP, spoofing doesn’t work because the returned information naturally gets routed back to the host of the real IP and not to the spoofed address. Obviously these attackers received some information back.
