How did a Trojan get its name?

Q. How did a Trojan get its name?

Answer: -

Since the ancient Greeks could not infiltrate the city of Troy using traditional warfare methods, they gifted the king of Troy with a big wooden horse with hidden soldiers inside and eventually defeated them. Borrowing the concept, a Trojan is a malware, that looks like a legitimate software and once it tricks a user into installing it, it acts pretty much like a virus or worm.
