Once it has entered the system, it can give access to the developer who might as well be a hacker.

It allows such hackers unauthorized access to the computer there making the user’s system open to threat and therefore vulnerable.

Trojan horse is very harmful if not detected early as it can be attacking prominent systems that include security systems of different nations.

It can take all the data and information the system has stored and can use it to blackmail institutions or even countries as a whole and threaten their security.

Once it has gained total access to the system, there is no understanding of what might happen as the hacker can now do as they please.

Trojan horses can be prevented from entering a system even via a disguise by installing antivirus software.
