Term:
trojan horse
Definition:
any program designed to do things that the user of the
program did not intend to do. An example of this would be
a program which simulates the logon sequence for a computer
and, rather than logging the user on, simply records the
user's userid and password in a file for later collection.
Rather than logging the user on, it steals the user's
password so that the Trojan Horse's designer can long on as
the user.
