Trojan Horse

A Trojan Horse is a deceptive tactic, originating from a famous Greek myth, where a hidden threat disguises itself as something harmless. In modern contexts, particularly in cybersecurity, it refers to malicious software that appears to be a legitimate program. Users might unwittingly download it, thinking it’s safe, but once inside their system, it can steal data, damage files, or provide unauthorized access to attackers. Essentially, a Trojan Horse embodies betrayal through disguise, leading victims to trust something that ultimately harms them.
