Possible NetDevil Scanning



The Internet Storm Center has noted a concurrent rise in scans for ports 901, 902, and 903. This is consistent with the default ports used by the NetDevil (Backdoor-RP) trojan for control, keylogging communication, and file transfer. If anyone monitors outbound traffic to these ports, please notify us: http://isc.sans.org/contact.html
