Detailed explanation-1: -Trojans give attackers backdoor access to a device, perform keylogging, install viruses or worms, and steal data. Remote access Trojans (RATs) enable attackers to take control of an infected device.
Detailed explanation-2: -A backdoor virus or remote access Trojan (RAT) secretly creates a backdoor into an infected computer system that enables threat actors to remotely access it without alerting the user or the system’s security programs.
Detailed explanation-3: -A Trojan (or Trojan Horse) disguises itself as legitimate software to trick you into executing malicious software on your computer. Because it looks trustworthy, users download it, inadvertently allowing malware onto their device. Trojans themselves are a doorway. Unlike a worm, they need a host to work.
Detailed explanation-4: -Ransomware is a type of malicious software that infects a computer and restricts users’ access to it until a ransom is paid to unlock it.
Detailed explanation-5: -As part of an organization’s security and data protection program, it should have a plan in place that, at minimum, mitigates risk to systems and networks arising from four common types of malicious software: trojans, spyware, viruses, and ransomware.
