- Wait!!! That might be a trojan!
- Eh? It doesn't look like a wooden horse to me.

- No, this is something totally different. A Trojan attack is when a criminal tries to gain your trust so they can fool you into downloading malicious content or steal sensitive information

- Just look at all the red signs in this email...How could you tell it was really Grandma who sent this? She would never use this exaggerated tone.
- Here are some measures you can take to prevent a Trojan attack.
- 1. Don't open a link or file in an email unless you are 100% sure who sent it.2. Keep a firewall up, this will prevent Trojans from getting to you in the first place.3. Install an antivirus, this will ensure that any link or file you open is safe.
- All in a day's work, Be safe out there.
- Wow, thanks bro, I'll be more careful with these emails from now on!
