That makes no sense
If that was the case, why would you shut down the entire network and not just restrict access to the dev servers? Why take it down for so long? Sony's losses from not having the PSN Store up and running for the last couple of weeks would surely vastly outstrip any losses from the piracy scenario.
The botnet thing sounds far more likely to me. If you think the update servers are compromised you've got to do a massive code review to ensure that nothing got added on the sly.
