____ is a program in which malicious code is hidden inside a seemingly harmless program. Select one: a. A Trojan horse b. A distributed denial-of-service attack c. A spam d. A smish

Respuesta :

Answer:

A - A Trojan horse.

Explanation:

As the exercise briefly states, a trojan horse is a program in which malicious code is hidden inside a seemingly harmless program. It's named after the mythical siege of Troy, where a giant horse was created to hide soldiers in it and then left in the doors of Troy, as a "parting gift" from the greek attackers. Therefore, this virus hides a malicious code or program inside one that seems harmless or legitimate, potentially tricking a user to load, download or execute the program.
