A Trojan horse is a type of malware that disguises itself as legitimate software to trick users into downloading and executing it, allowing attackers to gain unauthorized access to systems or steal sensitive data.
• Used by attackers to gain backdoor access to systems, steal data, or install additional malware.• Employed in spear phishing campaigns where users are tricked into downloading malicious software disguised as legitimate applications.
A Trojan horse disguises itself as legitimate software to deceive users into installing it, whereas other types of malware, like viruses or worms, often spread on their own.
Trojans can open backdoors for attackers, steal sensitive data, or give attackers full control over the infected system.
Organizations can protect against Trojans by using antivirus software, avoiding untrusted downloads, and educating users on phishing and suspicious software.
