Trojans as spam robots: the evidence

German magazine c't says it has hard evidence that virus writers are
selling the IP (Internet Protocol) addresses of machines infected with
Trojans to spammers. A college student managed to track down the author of
the Randex Trojan, leading the c't editorial staff to purchase access to
infected computers. The Randex Trojan, after it has infected a machine,
contacts the author over IRC (Internet relay chat), and can install a proxy
server to relay spam. c't has passed its evidence on to New Scotland Yard,
leading to the arrest of several individuals. c't will publish the full
story in its February 23, 2004 issue, in German.
