Well.. she says:

"Speaking of technical arguments, apparently Mr. Kaspersky has gotten it in his
head that Shady RAT is a botnet."

And then continues with:

"that we only know of 72 companies/organizations victimized through one command
& control server, out of hundreds or more used by this adversary."

OK, I'll bite, if it was a C&C server, *what do we call the thing being controlled* if
it wasn't a botnet?
