Over 10,000 IP addresses in Algeria were attacking WordPress websites in March. Most IPs were only launching between 50 and 1000 attacks during the entire month. The ISPs with compromised routers included Telecom Algeria, BSNL in India, PLDT in the Philippines and many more large ISPs around the world.

This is great news!

This reduction in attacks originating from hundreds of ISPs around the world is great news. Attacks on WordPress sites around the world have been reduced.

Until now nobody reclames this victory, but INTERPOL brought together investigators from Indonesia, Malaysia, Myanmar, Philippines, Singapore, Thailand and Vietnam and also Trend Micro, Kaspersky Lab, Cyber Defense Institute, Booz Allen Hamilton, British Telecom, Fortinet and Palo Alto Networks.

So who shut down this botnet?

The chart above shows attacks per hour by ISP. This is the most recent period, ending two days ago at approximately 5pm Pacific time. Each line is an Internet Service Provider from which these attacks were originating.
