Trojan horses

A trojan horse is malware disguised as legitimate software

What is trojan horses?

A trojan horse is a type of malware that disguises itself as legitimate software but secretly gives attackers access to the system. It is often used to steal data, install other malware, or open backdoors.

Trojan horses are like the mythical wooden horse of Troy – they appear harmless but hide a threat inside.

Example

An employee downloads a program that appears to be a legitimate PDF tool, but it actually contains a trojan. Once installed, the software opens a backdoor that gives the attacker access to the company’s internal systems—completely unnoticed by the user.
