Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A Trojan horse program is a small, unauthorized program that is hidden within a larger legitimate program, intended to manipulate the computer system for fraudulent purposes without the user's knowledge. Trap door alteration and input manipulation are also methods of computer fraud, but they do not involve a separate program hidden within another program. The salami technique involves rounding off small amounts of money over a large number of transactions to steal a small amount from each transaction, without arousing suspicion.
