...some of these lay dormant on USB and other memory devices too. So even if your local network was NEVER connected to the internet you can still have data stolen. Program lies dormant, infects USB. USB infects internal only network. Network PC then infects other USB devices. Other devices taken offsite and transmit data back when connected to internet..
