I’m not outraged at all. I’m simply wondering.
You analogy isn’t accurate. The bot net wasn’t burning down or bricking machines. It was leeching bandwidth and cpu cycles. So a more apt analogy might be animal control sniping bunnies off your petunias and hitting a window with your family heirloom on display instead.
The only thing about this whole thing that makes me double take is that it happened without permission or notice. I really wouldn’t be happy if I found out tue FBI was rummaging around my machine removing files without my consent. It’s still my property and I’m sure I’d be happy to cooperate if the FBI raised to my attention that there was malicious software on my machine.
