      been done since the dawn of the executable. i was doing this back in 95 with Netbus and BO2k servers between friends (neither of these are particularly that harmful admittedly but controlling someones mouse and playing sounds was fun as a juvanile prank)

      You can pack an executable into anything, i can place a trojan into a jpg, gif, doc, txt, another exe, etc and it will execute at runtime.

      Any extension whatsoever.

      This can also be used to achieve relatively benign things but is most frequently used to infect people with stuff.
