Trojan Horse

A Trojan Horse is a type of malware that is disguised as legitimate software but is designed to grant unauthorized access to the user’s system. Once activated, Trojans can enable cyber-criminals to spy on the user, steal sensitive data, and gain backdoor access to the system. Unlike viruses, Trojans do not replicate themselves but can be just as destructive.
