My phone just randomly learned “Linux User Identity” like what.
In computing, a Trojan (or Trojan Horse) is a type of malware that disguises itself as a legitimate, useful program to trick a user into downloading and installing it on their device. Once installed, the Trojan can perform various malicious actions in the background, such as stealing sensitive data, spying on user activity, providing unauthorized remote access for cybercriminals, or infecting other programs. Trojans are named after the Ancient Greek myth of the Trojan Horse, a wooden horse used by Greek soldiers to secretly enter the city of Troy.
How Trojans Work
- Disguise:
Trojans are disguised as helpful applications, such as games, software utilities, documents, or even fake software updates, to lure users into installing them.
- Delivery:
They often spread through social engineering tactics like email attachments containing malicious links or files, or through compromised websites that offer seemingly legitimate downloads.
- Malicious Action:
Once the user runs the disguised program, the hidden malicious code executes, allowing the attacker to carry out harmful actions without the user’s knowledge.
Common Malicious Activities
Trojans can perform a variety of harmful tasks, including:
-
Data Theft: Stealing passwords, financial information, and other sensitive data.
-
Spying: Monitoring user activity, reading messages, and potentially accessing the webcam or microphone.
-
Remote Access: Creating a backdoor for hackers to gain control of the infected device.
-
System Damage: Spreading other malware, deleting files, or disrupting system functions.
Key Differences from Other Malware
- Self-Replication: Unlike viruses or worms, Trojans do not replicate or infect other files on their own. They rely entirely on social engineering and user interaction to spread.

this is ai overview btw
heres what chatgpt said
In computing, a Trojan (short for Trojan Horse) is a type of malicious software (malware) that disguises itself as something legitimate or harmless in order to trick users into installing or running it.
The name comes from the ancient Greek story of the Trojan Horse, where attackers hid inside a wooden horse to secretly enter the city of Troy. Similarly, in computing, a Trojan pretends to be safe software but actually contains harmful code.
Key characteristics of a Trojan:
Disguised appearance: Looks like a normal file, program, or update (e.g., a game, utility, or attachment).
Does not self-replicate: Unlike viruses or worms, a Trojan usually needs the user to run it.
Malicious actions: Once active, it can:
Steal sensitive information (passwords, banking details, files).
Give remote control to hackers (backdoor Trojans).
Download/install other malware.
Corrupt or delete files.
Use your device in botnets (for spam, DDoS attacks, etc.).
Example:
You might download what looks like a free cracked version of a game, but when you run it, it secretly installs a Trojan that sends your data to attackers.
In short: A Trojan is malware that tricks you into installing it by pretending to be something useful or safe.
Do you want me to also explain the different types of Trojans (like banking Trojans, backdoors, droppers, etc.) with examples?
gonna says the one i show is a potential unwanted programs
password protected file can’t be scanned by most of antivirus
