Hello!
I believe that the source for the RTM one which made it crystal clear
that we needed some type of protection against such problems was
retained by the Feds and is sitting in whatever warehouse they use for
keeping evidence of such events. (No not the one from the Indiana
Jones films... And certainly not the one from the Syfy TV series.)

I strongly suggest that if you do track down these dangerous programs
you do your testing on systems who're kept isolated from the Internet.
