“TROJ_TRINOO is the latest ‘in the wild’ addition of malicious
agents that gives hackers access to a network via a computer.
TROJ_TRINOO can function in a Windows environment and can also
be sent by email like other viruses and Trojans. This Trojan
is more dangerous than the recent spate of DDoS (Distributed
Denial of Service) attack agents that could only function in Unix
or Linux environments.”
“The intention of a denial of service attack is to deliberately
interfere with another person’s network. Attacks can slow down a
network or even freeze (or re-boot) a computer. While denial of
service attacks are not new, they have increased in number recently
because it has become much easier for a hacker to launch such an
attack.”
