MYDOOMMyDoom

MyDoom is a malicious program that opens a backdoor to the infected device. Through this backdoor the attacker can gain access to the system and carry out further actions. The attack possibilities are diverse and range from information theft to the reloading of additional malware. MyDoom adds infected computers to a botnet and then carries out distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks. When the worm takes control over the victim’s OS, it then opens various ports and provides a backdoor to invite even more malware in.
