Migmaf trojan

[eclectica]

This is a new trojan that is out, that is not yet included in virus protection definitions. It listens on port 81 and is resident on the computer with a filename of "wingate.exe". It is used to run porn websites off of the personal computers of people, and has hit mostly AOL users. But it doesn't do any damage otherwise. I think of this as a benevolent trojan, because having more porn does everybody good, and it puts pressure on the webhosters to allow it in their terms of service.
