Google shows netnut.com[1] being the same thing, so not sure it's the wrong domain. Maybe not the main one. Brian Krebs' comment on this[2]:

> Pretty sure they're working on getting that domain too, but it's taking longer for some reason. Either way, they have dismantled the botnet's back end infrastructure, so for now it's not doing much.

WRT [1], you get a lot more results with https://www.google.com/search?q=site%3Anetnut.io

And if they didn't even grab the main domain that the service used, why so confident that they've totally dismantled the back end infrastructure?

I personally have no insight into what they have or haven't dismantled. Just found the article interesting (had never heard of the company). Was responding to the "They seized the wrong domain" claim in the tweet you quoted. I read that and thought they disabled an unrelated domain, which doesn't appear to be the case. As for the main domain, no idea about that. Someone brought that up to the author of the piece, and the bit I quoted was his response. I have no more info beyond that.

I don't know about "totally dismantled" but it definitely had some impact.

If these disruptions continue for an extended period, they are likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company's operations, financial results and its ability to provide certain services to its customers.
