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 CC server, *what do we call the thing being 
controlled* if
it wasn't a botnet?
