I got pwned by a ssh trojan when using an io.com shell account back in 2002/2003. Because I was a trusting soul, I had used my shell account to log into a local music enthusiast board (where I ran an elist and fooled around with zope and stuff) and my workstation at a government lab. It came to my attention via ... the NSA monitoring of my government lab workstation (it wasn't a secure lab, thankfully). The FBI got involved, and the guy who ran the local music thingee ended up spending almost a week cleaning shit up. There was an arrest; it was some kid. It was one of the single most embarrassing things that ever happened to me, in a lifetime of embarrassing things. It was also unpleasant and extremely time consuming. I don't recommend it.
