Ac1db1tch3z (also known as AB for short) were a hacking group most well known for their 0day exploits in Linux,[1] [2] CVS[3] [4] and supply chain attacks on UnrealIRCd[5] and ProFTPD.[6]
In November 2009 the source code copies for version 3.2.8.1 of UnrealIRCd were replaced with a version containing a backdoor. This backdoor allowed an attacker to run any command on a server running the backdoored version of the software. The backdoor was discovered in June 2010.
