A closed implementation of WHATEVER can host anything inside it, from user activity loggers to keylogers, backdoors, trojans... Several years ago it was detected that a printer firmware (an external device whose purpose is NOT to store executable code!) had a virus and did a really impresive propagation... By definition, any box that's closed and you can't inspect can store the cancer's cure or an activated nuclear bomb ready to explote and you didn't notice about any of them. -- "Si quieres viajar alrededor del mundo y ser invitado a hablar en un monton de sitios diferentes, simplemente escribe un sistema operativo Unix." – Linus Tordvals, creador del sistema operativo Linux
