Hardware Trojan (computing)
Hello there! Have you ever heard of a hardware trojan? It's a really sneaky problem that can happen to a computer. Think of it like a spy that sneaks into your house and tries to hide so it can steal things from you later.
Basically, a hardware trojan is when someone puts something into the physical parts of your computer, like the microchips or the wires, that's not supposed to be there. They do this on purpose to try to mess up your computer, steal private information, or get control of your computer without you knowing.
It's kind of like if you were playing with your toys and someone put a fake toy in with your other toys, but the fake toy had a hidden camera that could watch you without you knowing.
Hardware trojans can be really hard to find because they're hidden so well. But there are ways to check for them, like using a special tool that checks the electrical signals inside the computer to see if anything looks weird.
So, just like you would want to keep your toys safe and free from sneaky spies, we want to keep our computers safe and free from hardware trojans. It's always good to be careful about who you let near your computer and to make sure you use security tools to protect against sneaky spies.
