Backdoor.Hacarmy.D

Backdoor.Hacarmy.D is a Backdoor Trojan horse that gives an attacker control over a compromised computer.



A minor variant of this Trojan was spammed to multiple newsgroups in July, 2004. This was distributed under the guise of photographs of Osama Bin Laden having committed suicide. Additional messages were also distributed indicating that an Arnold Schwarzenegger suicide note was available when in fact it was another copy of this Trojan.
