this assumption is the root of all evil i have seen mails from ISP's to people because they sent a couple million of spam mails in background without realize this i saw mails from the police to the same people some weaks later proving that they made illegal activities because their machine was remote controlled and misused 98% of all attacks and spam out there are from machines where the owner said "oh i do not need more security and do not care" 90 % of this are home-machines beeing part of a botnet and the rest vservers of users missing any admin skill but think to need a root-server
