Saying "Eastern Europe" as opposed to "Moscow" is a little coy, isn't it? They're in the same time zone and one seems likelier than the other, to put it one way.

Edit: speaking of, these guys might also have some time pressure at the moment with regards to hacking stuff lol. Kind of fits the bill with what we know about the hack

Moscow is UTC+3 year round, not UTC+2 in winter and +3 in summer

Israel is perhaps more likely given daylight savings.

Why? There would be a number of plausible location based on the time zones. Just asking why you would make that conclusion in terms of rationality.
