Blindly counter attacking seems like a bad idea. Target identification is non-trivial since the actual packets are coming from machines infected with Windows. A counterstike will only result in more nasty packets clogging the net. We already have spammers to fill that ecological niche.

I suggest hiring a professional investigator to track down the attacker. Then go to his house and beat the stuffing out of him. Keep it off the net.
