Logic Bomb

In cybersecurity, a logic bomb is a malicious software (malware) programmed to execute a harmful action when certain conditions are met.

Unlike viruses or worms, logic bombs do not spread on their own.

They stay inactive within a system until certain conditions, like a specific date, time or action, trigger them to perform harmful activities such as corrupting or deleting data.
