If it isn't security-breaking, it isn't a Trojan. I have not seen any evidence that this prank, immature as it may be, resulted in an actual security breach.
- colejohnson66 5y agoThe term is derived from the ancient Trojan Horse. It doesn’t have to involve security breaches because the only requirement is a breach of trust through deceit.
