TROJANS

a trojan is a type of malicious software (malware) that deceives users by pretending to be a legitimate or useful program, but once executed, it performs unauthorized actions that compromise the security or functionality of the system.

  • Banking Trojans: Steal financial information like credit card details and online banking credentials.

  • Downloader Trojans: Download and install additional malware.
