I suspect it might have been problematic to tip off the malware operators that the network was about to be shut down. Apparently customers are going to be informed via their ISPs now. I guess some if them may decide to junk the routers.

There are several places - Computer Associates was the olther classic place - until it was bought by Broadcom.
Particularly Broadcom, which is where old technologies go to die.
Fair enough. The original is a bit more informative than the re-write, I think.
Why not link to the original article that piece quotes https://www.independent.co.uk/news/science/chimeric-monkey-china-birth-cell-b2445058.html
Probably works the other way around - FBI detects the problem at various IP addresses, patches them, then contacts the iISP and asks them to contact the customer who had x.y.z IP address
