Hi Rich -

Given that the IP addresses are all over the map, I suspect that

Given that telnet is a TCP protocol, it is difficult to spoof the IP
address because the return packets will go back to that IP address.

However if it is some botnet being used, those IP addresses would not
be that of the actual attackers, but the IP addresses of people who
have systems that have been compromised.
