Pedophile Uses Trojan Backdoor In Child Abuse
Internet pedophile Adrian Ringland forced a Canadian schoolgirl to send him explicit photographs of herself, after infecting her computer with a Trojan Backdoor.
The accused contacted the victim over a chatroom posing as a teenager. Few days later he sent her a file claiming to be his photograph, which in fact contained a Trojan Backdoor and no sooner the girl downloaded and opened the file than the attacker gained control of the victim's computer via IRC channels. Thereafter the man allegedly threatened and blackmailed the victim, forcing her into submission and abuse.
Arti Taru, Security Expert at MicroWorld Technologies says "Trojan backdoors can be employed by remote attackers to takeover a victim's computer and to execute programs, reboot the system, open files, open webpages, download files, launch and manage a Proxy Server on the victim's machine and so much more. It's as if the intruder is operating his own desktop at free will."
