Trojan Horse

A Trojan Horse, often simply called a Trojan, is a type of malicious software that misleads users about its true intent. Disguised as legitimate or benign software, Trojans trick users into executing them, thereby granting unauthorized access to the user’s system. Once activated, a Trojan can perform various harmful actions such as stealing sensitive data, installing additional malware, or creating backdoors for remote access. Protecting against Trojans involves using reputable antivirus software, avoiding downloads from untrusted sources, and exercising caution with email attachments and links.
