Check the RIPE asn file; they are advertising RIPE address space.

Unfortunately, I find it quite credible. Whether or not it's
government-encouraged, countries vary in their tolerance for
malicious hacking. For a time, the Netherlands were one of the
countries with reasonable police but no laws they could enforce. One
legendary hacker group stopped meddling when a detective recognized
there were no applicable laws, and they were mostly 14 year olds that
the courts would give a slap on their wrists. What was his secret?
He talked individually to their mothers.
There are severe spam problems associated with unguarded or flatly
open mail relays. According to the NANOG list, a fair number of ISPs
are blocking all traffic from South Korea, due to the magnitude of
spam. It's a very unfortunate situation.
