I heard a story, related second hand but heard on television recently, that 
there's a new trojan program being downloaded from Internet web sites.  If I 
can remember this correctly, it's supposed to be a small .EXE program, and is 
usually found on pornographic web sites.  The distributor explains it's 
supposed to be used to display pornographic images or some such.
However .. when you download and execute it, it supposedly reconnects you 
with a _very_ expensive overseas number (like in Slobovia or some such 
place), a 900- equivalent that costs you many dollars a minute .. _and_ you 
can't tell your modem disconnected from your Internet service and redialed 
for some reason .. _and_ it supposedly leaves your modem still connected to 
this _very_ expensive number even if you shut off your computer (or maybe 
just your Internet connect software).  _And_ your phone company won't listen 
to your whining because it was _your_ system that did the dialing.
Anyone hear anything else about this?  Right now I consider it rumor (at 
best).
