I would agree those people may have been severely affected.  But 350,000
hosts isn't that big of a number any more.  The Morris Internet Worm

That's 350K hosts that got infected *that we know about*.  I'd not be
surprised if a lot of other hosts got infected during the 9 hours CRv2
was on its burn stage that didn't happen to ping any of the sensor boxes
used to identify infected hosts.
