It'd be more interesting if we had some indication of how Tsunami got

A lot of break-ins are as a result of dumb-ass errors, such as shell
users employing the same password on multiple systems.  Then, if just
one of those systems becomes root-compromised, suddenly the attacker
has easy entrance to all the others.
