if the router between the computer and the internet is vulnerable, and
the computer is connected to the mains (but not 'switched on') at the
time of the attack (i.e. has mains power to the mobo, just isn't in an
on-state), then someone can craft a ethernet WOL packet... get the
computer online and then plant their what-not on ones system... and
switch the thing off again.
