‘Wake on Lan’ site hosts malware

July 3rd, 2009

Until today I did not know what wake on Lan was.  That is until I came upon a site called “reveilpc.com” that I found out.

It’s an interesting feature that lets you remotely turn a computer on by sending ‘magic packets’ (I’m not making this up! lol).

Well, the site first got my attention because it was linking to malware.

The site’s IP address is: 213.246.56.31 and guess what’s in there?

…

A nasty EXE file!!!!

The file is a password stealing Trojan:
