Check to see if you have that system open to the Internet especially open
to FTP. If so these systems can be broken into via FTP and a hacker can
take control of the hard drive that are on these systems. I have not heard
from any RP vendor about this happening but too many of us are finding out
the hard way.

Be warned.
