Logic Bomb: Exploding Your Mind With Logic

A logic bomb is a malicious piece of code that is designed to cause damage to a computer system or disrupt its normal operations. It is usually triggered by a specific event or set of conditions, such as a specific date, a particular user action, or the passing of a certain amount of time. Once triggered, the logic bomb can delete data, corrupt files, or cause the system to crash. In some cases, logic bombs can even be used to spread malicious software to other systems. Logic bombs are usually created by skilled hackers or malicious software developers, and are usually difficult to detect and defend against.
