👉 The Netscape Weapon, also known as the Netscape Trojan Horse or Netscape Backdoor, was a malicious software program designed to infiltrate and compromise computer systems, particularly those running Netscape Navigator. Introduced in 1998 as a hidden backdoor to gain unauthorized access to users' systems, it exploited vulnerabilities in the browser's code to secretly install itself and execute arbitrary commands on the infected machine. This allowed attackers to steal sensitive data, such as login credentials and financial information, and even take control of the system remotely. The Trojan Horse was a significant security concern during the late 1990s, highlighting the importance of robust software security practices and user awareness in protecting against such threats.
