eng variant is not published yet, it likely will be "moderated"

You are partially right,when rumors started among black&white hat's cliques,about some1 who had made a completely undetected rootkit,DR.WEB WAS THE FIRST company which discovered/detected this rootkit.So,i'd say they deserve something more than 20% of the big success :D.

Rustock Civil Case Closed: Microsoft Refers Criminal Evidence to FBI

As you may have read in this morning’s edition of CNET, on Sept. 13th, Judge James L. Robart, of the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Washington ruled that the domain names and Internet protocol addresses used to host the botnet would be effectively removed from the defendants’ control. This case not only enabled the take down of a botnet known to be one of the single largest sources of spam on the Internet, but it is now helping to ensure that this botnet will never be used for cybercrime again.

If your botnet is getting to big, you get too much attention and you will be destroyed. The lesser attention you get the better it is for money making.
