25% of all traffic being botnets

That's not what he said at all, he said 25% were available to be USED in a botnet.

That's doesn't mean they are all active, they get used when they need to bring someone down like Blue Security, then most of it sits quiet the rest of the time.

If you expose your entire botnet, people will get wise and shut it down.

This is what happened to me for a few weeks:

The botnet was in overdrive and too many hit my site, I got about half shut down.

Stealth is best for a botnet and it was obvious I was dealing with amateurs.
