The naming convention "Trojan" easily confuses people i.e. Remote Access Trojan. Unfortunately, due to successful media campaigns, the term Trojan is now closely affiliated to condoms.
Instead we petition to formally change the term to something which is reminiscent of the term "Trojan Horse", and carries the same meaning
Suggestion: Horse
Example(s):
- Remote Access Horse
- Sophisticated Horse
- "... The Threat Actors inserted a Horse payload into the Word document..."
Laymen can easily identify a horse and they will understand the concept of a horse on the loose is very dangerous. You can explain to customers there is a horse loose in their computer and the horse is causing serious damage.
