    This is true. Malware may get inside your networking by exploiting a
    Windows vulnerability, but it may short lived if detected by anti-virus
    or cleared by rebooting if non-persistent. However, it can quickly scan
    the local network to find other systems to infect.

    A Raspberry Pi with a default password makes a great a great botnet host
    as it wont have any additional security software, and will generally be
    left switched on permanently, with very infrequent software updates.
