We've been down this road before. Unless there is prompt, concerted, collective action (as there was AGIS) then there is zero reason for those behind such operations to do anything but keep collecting dirty money.
So it's all good and well to *know* where the problems are: that's useful. But if the goal is to actually make the problems go away, then that'll require fingers on keyboards implementing null routing, firewalling, blacklisting etc.
Or it will require legislation and I will assure that whatever is written not be liked. On the other hand everyone one in the country will be in the same boat.
