Can anyone supply us all with info as to just where this Steroid trojan
has been found, what the presumed route of communication has been, etc.?
Trojans, by their very nature, don't tend to spread as far as viruses.
Unless, perhaps, posted to a number of bulletin boards. Or shrink-wrapped.
(Hmm. I've certainly run across shrink-wrapped software that makes me feel
like I'm up against a trojan horse. Operating systems, as well as applica-
tion packages.) Where a trojan has appeared, and in how many different
places, will determine the nature of an organization's response. I don't
like to push the panic button except when justified.
Thanks much.
