Well, it's definitely an eye-catchingly colourful design. I'm sure it will attract attention.

Earliest depiction of the Trojan Horse

The story of the Trojan Horse, whether or not it's apocryphal, is clearly a very powerful one that has stuck with us for a very long time.

Someone's getting fired

I know infosec pros tend to preach forgiveness for security fuck-ups by your users, but I don't think the same holds true for nation-state attackers. Someone inside India's Patchwork threat group infecting themselves with a remote access trojan was a pretty serious operational security failure and it's literally their job not to fuck that kind of stuff up.

Malware Family sticker

Product Page

If you're familiar with malware families, this is not going to be anything like that. Instead, it just imagines various malware types as members of the family of things called "malware". It's also missing some malware types. Granted a lot of things can fall under the heading of trojan horse or bot, but if spyware gets it's own glyph then where's adware? Where are the downloaders, the droppers, the RATs? I guess the design would be too big if everything were included.

Yeah, that's OK. That game wasn't fun anyway.

Peter Norton and John McAfee are real people and I think it's fair to say that the products named after them have missed lots of threats over the years - but maybe not back quite that far.

Trojan horse programs are sometimes no more sophisticated than this. Just slap a misleading label on something and sit back and let the users do the rest.

Of course, in this case the label isn't entirely misleading. It will stop work, at least temporarily.

And now you know why home-made treats aren't welcome anymore.

Open wide...

The traditional wisdom might be that you should be grateful of a gift rather than inspect it too closely, but in this day and age, when the Internet puts countless victims at a crooks fingertips, it might be wiser to exercise and abundance of caution.

Oh, it's not a secret, it's just "undisclosed"

from here

As surveillance capitalism becomes more and more obvious, the application of old malware tricks in supposedly legit products becomes more and more apparent. No one would buy those eavesdropping IoT devices if they knew about the eavesdropping - which is the same basic approach trojan horse programs take (you wouldn't run it if you knew what it actually did instead or in addition to it's advertised behaviour).

And because no one would buy those eavesdropping IoT devices if they knew about it, technology vendors have to protect their ability to keep that sort of things secret. They're fighting for the right to turn their products into trojan horses.

When you need your computer to be "Extra Safe"

Apparently "Extra Safe" is the name of one of Durex's product lines.

And that's just the way trojan makers like it

from here

If people paid as much attention to non-viral malware as they do to viral malware, I'm not sure what cybercrooks would do, but I'm reasonably sure they wouldn't be happy about it.

Maybe you should look a gift horse in the mouth

The people of Troy could have used some of that insight, Tyler.
