Logic bombs
Logic bomb is a set of instructions written in computer code that can be hidden inside other software and set to activate at a particular data and time. A logic bomb could also be programmed to wait for a certain message from the programmer. The logic bomb could, for example, check a web site once a week for a certain message. When the logic bomb sees that message, or when the logic bomb stops seeing that message, it activates and executes it's code.
