In a salami-slicing attack, a program performs a large number of small, hardly noticeable malicious actions, which add up to a large aggregate malicious action. In a classic example, a programmer for a bank has 1 cent of the monthly interest calculation on each bank customer's account transfered into his account. Thus, if the bank has 1,000,000 customers, then this programmer would get $10,000

each month from this salami slicing attack. What type of malware is such a program?

What will be an ideal response?

This is an insider attack, which in this case is a Trojan horse.
