Ever watched the movie  WarGamesÂ'? Well, itÂ's about a teenageprodigy who found out a backdoor being installed in the computer system of theDepartment of Defense, by none other than the person who developed it. With thenewly detected Backdoor Trojan too, a hacker can take charge of your PC in trueHollywood style.
Security Analysts from the leading AntiVirus and Content Security firm MicroWorldTechnologies, inform that a Backdoor Trojan named  Backdoor.Win32.Haxdoor.ieÂ' comeswith a series of hacking and information stealing powers to transform computers intoremotely controlled Bots.
 Haxdoor.ieÂ' can capture keystrokes, steal passwords, turn off Security Software,install itself in the registry and to top it all, drop Rootkits to hide itspresence. Via this malware, the attackers can control the victimÂ's computer usingIRC channels.
 After collecting a number of such compromised PCs, hackers can create  BotnetsÂ'that can launch Denial-of-Service attacks, hijack SMTP Mail Servers to spread Spam,steal usernames and passwords and capture banking information. It may sound bizarre,but there are countless Botnets available on hire on the web, where in one of thecomputers for rental could be your PC! says Govind Rammurthy, CEO, MicroWorldTechnologies.
Botnets are created by a network of computers taken over by hackers using Trojansand Backdoors, to launch, direct and manage fraudulent activities, online crimes andmalicious attacks. The year 2005 saw a staggering three fold increase in the numberof bots across the globe, compared to the year before.
Over the last few years, the very nature of online threats too has changed colorsdrastically. With focused financial and informational motives, hacking groups workwell connected and mutually supportive. Many links have been established betweenonline criminal gangs of Russia, Brazil and Far East, in coordinating global scams.
 These groups are creating sophisticated breeds of malware to wreck havoc in thelives of innocent people around the world, points out Govind Rammurthy.  Anunsuspecting user may get the shock of his life when police tracks down his IPaddress to be the source of a major online crime or a notorious scam. ItÂ's now moreabout safeguarding your life and less about securing your information!Â
