As you can see, I'm a first-time poster and please correct me, if I did something wrong while posting and of course if I missed some information.
It did basicly makes "sense" to me, that those organizations act the way they want and don't even try to hide their identity and it would be an interesting coincidence, but it seems like it is, because those IPs should be VPN IPs (of course it's possible, that they use the VPN provider to attack the wiki).
So I started researching the IP ranges the suspicious IPs are in. As pointed out before[1] the IPs belong to CachedNet LLC. A lot of those ranges are banned by several Anti Spam services[2], which is typical for VPN/Proxy-Providers.
After more research, since this is just speculation yet, I ended up in the support forum[3] of a VPN-Provider called "privateinternetaccess". There are multiple threads, in which people are complaining about the VPN, because it's not working that well. People, who use the VPN, get IPs (in Delaware) of CachedNet LLC, because the VPN-Provider probably bought them from CachedNet. You can also find a reference about the IPs status in spam databases like Spamhaus. The IPs are used for a lot of spam.
Quote from the forum user:
This doesn't appear to be working, when I connect via the New Zealand location. I have checked the IP location, and it comes up as Delaware U.S.A.
So, as I said at the beginning, DYNCORP might use the VPN to attack the Wiki, but the IPs location in Delaware is no evidence itself. Correct me, if I missed a fact.

"VPN-Provider"....A VPN "provider" doesn't give you an ip address the company that's using that VPN software does. That's why all these attacks are coming from Dyncorp. Basically what I'm saying is I don't understand the point you're trying to make. Care to help me understand?

A VPN works by taking your message, and handing it off as a middle man. Their IP will show up on the victims logs, not the person running the attack.

See my answer to tazytale immediately below for more detail on what I'm talking about. I don't want to retype it in here.
