Well, there are escalation attacks into VM host environments, so depends 
on the VM host and how old it is.  Beyond this, it doesn't take much to 
be joined into a botnet harming others, it doesn't even take 
administrative privileges. You may not care about *YOUR* system, but 
when your systems attack mine, I care quite a lot.
