To control a botnet, you need a command & control server. Those servers usually get taken down quickly, so you need some way to tell your botnet what the new server is. One option is to post the new IPs on Reddit, where the bots can find them, like the iWorm did: https://support.intego.com/hc/en-us/articles/207113608-iWorm-Botnet-Uses-Reddit-as-Command-and-Control-Center https://support.intego.com/hc/en-us/articles/207113608-iWorm...
Forums would be another option.
Note that this is just a guess. Might also be something completely different.
