I had sent an email to the author of that article, here it is: "Just wanted to say that your article seemed, at least to me, more shock based. True, that version of Unreal ircD had a "trojan" backdoor inside, but with any OS, regardless, these backdoors can be written in at anytime by anyone. This doesn't classify itself as a "Trojan", this is more of someone out there wanted to put something in it to gain control of a server whenever someone used this daemon. Unreal ircD is usually not the ircD of choice so it looks to me this is more of a VERY limited backdoor intended to attack a very small (and i mean VERY small) percentage of server admins. This is not something that would affect a server by looking at a web page or something of that nature. So can you please tone down the article to at least defcon 1 instead of defcon 4 or 5 please.. :)"
