RE: (fwd) OpenSSH trojan!



Should debian users be worried if they only install the pre built .deb

I guess the next question is Do I Have it?

Sincerely,

"bf-test.c[1] is nothing more than a wrapper which generates a
shell-script[2] which compiles itself and tries to connect to an
server running on 203.62.158.32:6667 (web.snsonline.net)."
