Sounds like the title should have been, "when malicious internet servers attack!"

>> "The security researcher who was interviewed was not able to garner how the malware gets in as that would require breaking into the infected systems, which he was not prepared to do (as it would be illegal)."

Not much of a security researcher if we aren't breaking into systems. My understand of the term "security research" is that you hack into systems under safely quarentined experimental setups to provide specific knowledge of how, in order to improve future systems.
