Don't discount your system simply because you don't have three letters in your name. Bad actors will
use any and all available hosts, particularly in the target country, to act as cutouts when they try
to access important systems for which they have hacks. From their point of view, anything that makes
tracing back to the perps harder is a good thing.

Botnets - which may include you - are also valuable for DDOS attacks and for running those important
crypto mining operations.
