Which of the following is a type of malware that disguises itself as a legitimate useful app or software and gains access to the devices once we download and install it on our devices ?
Answer: D
The malware is a Trojan.
A Trojan horse disguises itself as legitimate, useful software, such as a game, utility or update. Once the user downloads and installs it, it gives attackers access to the device, steals data or installs other malware. Unlike a virus or worm, it does not replicate itself; it relies on deceiving the user.
A worm spreads by itself across networks without needing to be installed by the user. Spam is unsolicited bulk e-mail, and phishing is a trick to make users reveal passwords or financial details, usually through fake messages or sites.
