Comment on Researcher sets up illegal 420,000 node botnet for IPv4 Internet mapparent

It doesn't say that he reboots the compromised machines, just that if the sysadmin happens to reboot then the bot would disappear.

I hope they did not infect any medical device e.g. a ventilator.

I hope there are no medical devices(e.g. a ventilator) accessible from the public internet with a default password.

Hope, or expect?

Unfortunately, only hope.

Doh, now that you point that out... I misunderstood it. Thank you.
