WMF Threat OK , but no huge attack ... WHY ?

Hi,

The WMF threat was and continues to be important.
But Im curious to know why we didnt observe any important attack on Internet? 

WMF was a perfect Zero-Day attack and a scenario like the blackout of Internet was possible  but nothing  or no 
important attack! 
No BOT virus deployed? No DOS worm attack?  

All hackers become white-hat? 
Or they attacked and we didnt see anything? 

Any hypothese / explanation ? 

Regards,
Pejman
