      In general, a compromised system may be running any software the attacker might find useful, including, but not limited to:

      • keyloggers to find passwords that are in use in the company
      • software to copy sensitive files to a remote server
      • software to encrypt the system itself or (if the computer has access to other machines on the network) other computers
      • produce documents (think, mail) that purport to have been created by the user of the corrupted machine.
