E-mail marketing
This type of Trojan Horse arrives in the form of an attachment or link to an Internet page where the file can be downloaded.
These are the main types:
• Virtual cards;
• Promotions;
• Messages mentioning supposed financial debts;
• Alerts in the name of anti-virus companies;
• Programs and patches for applications or systems;
• Photos or videos of alleged adultery, former colleagues, friends and celebrities;
• Photos or videos of recent events or controversial subject matters, among other themes.
Infection
Infection occurs when you download the file into your computer. The most frequent are those that end in ".exe", ".scr", or ".zip". Never download files with these extensions from people or websites you are not 100% sure about.
Data Capturing
The capturing of data usually takes place through fake screens in which the user is induced to input his or her confidential information.
In order to avoid any and all Trojan Horse types always maintain your firewall activated, your anti-virus updated and never open e-mails with a dubious origin.
