Trojans/worms that use this port as well:
Bugbear.xx [Symantec-2003-060423-5844-99] - wide-spread mass-mailing worm, many variants.
SubSeven - remote access trojan, 03.2001. Afects all current Windows versions.
WinHole - remote access trojan, 01.2000 (a.k.a. WinGate, Backdoor.WLF, BackGate). Affects Windows 9x.
Trojan.Webus.C [Symantec-2004-101212-0903-99] - remote access trojan, 10.12.2004. Affects all current Windows versions. Connects to an IRC server (on port 8080) and opens a backdoor on TCP port 10888 or 1080.

Mydoom.B [Symantec-2004-012816-3647-99] (2004.01.28) - mass-mailing worm that opens a backdoor into the system. The backdoor makes use of TCP ports 80, 1080, 3128, 8080, and 10080.

Backdoor.Lixy [Symantec-2003-100816-5051-99] (2003.10.08) - a backdoor trojan horse that opens a proxy server on TCP port 1080.

W32.HLLW.Deadhat [Symantec-2004-020619-0805-99] (2004.02.06) - a worm with backdoor capabilities. It attempts to uninstall the W32.Mydoom.A@mm and W32.Mydoom.B@mm worms, and then it spreads to other systems infected with Mydoom. Also, it spreads through the Soulseek file-sharing program.

WinHole, Wingate, Bagle.AI trojans also use this port.

Buffer overflows in AnalogX Proxy before 4.12 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service and possibly execute arbitrary code via a long HTTP request to TCP port 6588 or a SOCKS 4A request to TCP port 1080 with a long DNS hostname.
References: [CVE-2002-1001] [BID-5139]

Buffer overflow in Avirt Voice 4.0 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via a long GET request on port 1080.
References: [CVE-2004-0315] [BID-9721]

HEUR.Backdoor.Win32.Generic / Unauthenticated Open Proxy - the backdoor creates a Windows service backed by an executable named "1314.exe", it lives under C:\WINDOWS and listens on TCP ports 1080 and 8080. Third-party adversaries who can connect to the infected system can relay requests from the original connection to the destination and then back to the origination system. Attackers may then be able to launch attacks, download files or port scan third party systems and it will appear as the attacks originated from that infected host. The relay does not
require authentication or any special User-agent check and leverages the HTTP Host header in the request to connect to third-party systems.

Backdoor.Win32.Small.gs / Unauthenticated Remote Command Execution - the malware listens on TCP port 1080. Third-party attackers who can reach infected systems can execute OS commands and or run arbitrary programs.
References: [MVID-2021-0336]

Backdoor.Win32.Agent.aer / Remote Denial of Service - the malware listens on TCP port 1080. Third-party attackers who can reach infected systems can send a specially crafted junk payload for the logon credentials to trigger an exception and crash.
References: [MVID-2021-0346]

Backdoor.Win32.Agent.bxxn / Open Proxy - the malware listens on TCP port 1080. Third-party attackers who can connect to the infected system can relay requests from the original connection to the destination and then back to the origination system. Attackers may then be able to launch attacks, download files or port scan third party systems and it will appear as the attacks originated from that infected host.
References: [MVID-2022-0522]

Backdoor.Win32.Aphexdoor.LiteSock / Remote Stack Buffer Overflow (SEH) - the malware drops an extensionless PE file named "3" which listens on TCP port 1080. Third-party attackers who can reach an infected host can send a specially crafted packet to port 1080, that will trigger a stack buffer overflow overwriting ECX register and SEH.
