You're not likely to get any more information on Aurora than what's on the wikipedia page. It includes some breakdown of the attacks (among other things, zero days in internet explorer).
> At thousands per week, that is 12k, 24k, 40k, 24k, 12k new compromises per chain at a minimum, probably closer to 5x those numbers.
That assumes every visitor uses iOS 10-12. Which is...not likely. My understanding is that these sites were likely Chinese dissident forums, and I don't think that iOS 10-12 makes up even half of browsers in china. Nor does it make sense that every user is unique. This isn't to downplay the danger of these attacks, but no you're likely looking at compromising 1-2K devices total when it comes down to it.
But again, you're looking at state actors (not even nation state actors at this point, but like the Chinese version of the NSA/CIA) with hundred million or billion dollar budgets. If those are the only people capable of exploiting your software, you're doing an objectively good job.
