Explanation:
In computing, Trojan horse, or Trojan, is any malicious computer program which is used to hack into a
computer by misleading users of its true intent. Although their payload can be anything, many modern forms act
as a backdoor, contacting a controller which can then have unauthorized access to the affected computer.
