The Russian govt botnet that FBI dismantled in April still retained about 20% of its command & control servers after the FBI’s direct victim notifications, Vorndran said. So these first two stages of outreach made a huge difference, but the botnet retained significant capacity. — PolitiTweet.org

The FBI sees botnet device counts drop sharply and quickly after initial manufacturer warnings, Vorndran said, “but it doesn’t get anywhere close to zero.” Even after 100s or 1000s of direct victim notifications, many bots remain. "There’s still a usable vector for attack." — PolitiTweet.org

For the FBI, Vorndran said, the Q is what to do next. "Should the adversary still have the opportunity to utilize these to conduct an attack? ... Our answer to that will always be ‘No,’ especially when we have the legal authorities and the capability to neutralize that botnet.” — PolitiTweet.org
