Re: Has anyone else seen this ?

Gabriel,

Yes, we have seen this type of compromised hosts.
It looks like a HackDefender Toolkit or some variations.

A Telnet is running on port 81, and it returns a banner that says:
ÿûÿýÿýÿýÿûMicrosoft (R) Windows (TM) Version 5.00 (Build 2195)
Welcome to Microsoft Telnet Service
Telnet Server Build 5.00.99206.1

Rogue FTP Servers were found listening on ports: 6565, 55422, and I 
suspect that a "remote control" application was listening on port 33333.

The compromised machines were accessed from these IPs:
81.56.231.125
82.224.213.24

Were these machines behind of a firewall?

My guess is that the attack spreads through the internal network via 
weak and shared passwords. Once a  machine is compromised the disease 
spreads pretty fast. Keep looking for more compromised machines!
