this assumption is the root of all evil

i have seen mails from ISP's to people because they sent
a couple million of spam mails in background without
realize this

i saw mails from the police to the same people some weaks
later proving that they made illegal activities because
their machine was remote controlled and misused

98% of all attacks and spam out there are from machines where
the owner said "oh i do not need more security and do not care"

90 % of this are home-machines beeing part of a botnet and the
rest vservers of users missing any admin skill but think to
need a root-server
