Linux Infected by Trojan

[javajolt]

A Trojan was placed inside the Unreal IRC server and gives the bad dudes almost complete control. Oops! Moral of the story: don’t get cocky, Linux users.

This backdoor allows a person to execute ANY command with the privileges of the user running the ircd. The backdoor can be executed regardless of any user restrictions (so even if you have passworded server or hub that doesn’t allow any users in).
