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.
