Trojans are malicious software hidden inside apps or files that seem legitimate. Once inside your device, it may stay quiet for a while, without triggering any alarms. It can steal credentials or personal data, watch everything you type, modify your files, or turn your device into a zombie for their malicious network (botnet).
