Trojan Horse Infections
The technological Trojan infections are named for its counterpart in Greek mythology. The Greeks won the Trojan War through the dubious means of the Trojan Horse ? a huge wooden horse given as a gift, which, unknown to the Trojans, was full of Greek soldiers who attacked and destroyed Troy at night, when the city was asleep. This is what it does to your computer, too ? it insinuates its way in through seemingly innocuous means, and then destroys your data.
