> took down more than 100 servers

Future malware will protect against this by making such takedowns too painful by reconfiguring victims systems to depend on the malware c&c server.

Ie. transfer vital user data to the c&c server, such as disk encryption keys, then serve it back to the victims whenever needed.

If the FBI takes down the c&c servers, suddenly all the victims suffer outages and data loss.



But why would FBI take the servers down then?
