What a great way to get the secrets from PC users and recruit a bot
army - offer a new system (just a popular one with some new
decorations) and while installing it mount any other file systems and
harvest passwords and data, ship them back to base and lay in some
nice little eggies to give you control of the machine at some later
date - regardless of what system happens to be running. Or sneak in a
hidden update repository where the eggs can be supplied from later.
These times of full root privilege are just prefect for exploitation.
Don't suppose they'd be daft enough to write an inverse disclaimer
though ... or would they?
