Yang Chung,
Yes, most of these attacks do exhibit properties (e.g., multiple synchronized attack sources, common attack vectors, multiple source ISPs, well distributed source locations, etc..) that would suggest they are the work of bots. Bots are used for an array of malicious activities today, most of the interesting typically being associated with some economic motivations. Bots are indeed trivial to obtain today, either directly or through leased partitions from other bots. Have a look back through other entries here and on linked blogs for some more information about this.
