>  vulnerable to a number of other attacks. Can you guarantee that none
>  of those have been run against it? I didn’t think so.

> You can’t trust any data copied from a compromised system. Once an

> the best-case scenario, copying data off a compromised system and
> putting it on a clean system will give you potentially untrustworthy
> data. In the worst-case scenario, you may actually have copied a back
> door hidden in the data.
