Logic bombs, also known as slag code or time bombs, are essentially dormant lines of code that lay concealed within legitimate software or systems until a specific condition or event occurs. Once triggered, these hidden lines of code can unleash a series of malicious actions that can range from simple disruptions to severe damage to an organization's data and infrastructure. Logic bombs are often crafted by individuals with malicious intent, such as disgruntled employees or hackers seeking to cause chaos or extract sensitive information.
