I'm new to this list so forgive me if this has already been stated. After an attack has been discovered, the victim (company) must investigate the damage to the liberated system. This could involve manually checking all files in all directories for alteration. Following this, the system should then be checked in order to detect any external copying of files (this could involve the system logs or a network traffic monitor.) These two activities are expensive. It is naive to assume that because the hacker knows that (s)he is not malicious that the victim will also. It would be careless of the victim to ever assume that a hacker is not malicious.
