Somebody posted this link on another discussion: http://cm.bell-labs.com/who/ken/trust.html http://cm.bell-labs.com/who/ken/trust.html There's no way to know for sure, but I don't think this is a problem for the average consumer. I'd like to think serious black hats are not amateur fishermen who use a bait to catch anything that passes by. I picture them more like a sniper waiting for the perfect shot on a valuable target. In other words, yes every system could be compromised, but the ones that are will be the ones holding more valuable information. And those are few relative to the mass of average joes. But then one might get an advantage from controlling a botnet, and use it to attack more valuable targets. I don't really know :)
