And of course, unless at least some of the packages they offer are 
damaged, there's no point in it anyway.  Assuming that they know enough 
to mangle the programs, doing so in a way that's not too obvious is 
going to take a considerable amount of work.  Unless there's a clear 
source of profit for this, there aren't going to be many people who both 
know how to do it and are willing to take the time.
