コンピューター技術者が、起動していないコンピューターを調査しています。ユーザーは、昨夜シャットダウンするまでコンピュータは動作していたと報告しました。技術者は、取り外し可能な USB デバイスが挿入されていることに気づき、ユーザーは、そのデバイスが昨日メールで受け取った賞品であると説明しました。これは次のタイプの攻撃のうちどれを表しますか?
正解:A
Explanation Phishing is the correct answer for this question. Phishing is a type of attack that uses fraudulent emails or other messages to trick users into revealing sensitive information or installing malicious software. Phishing emails often impersonate legitimate entities or individuals and offer incentives or threats to lure users into clicking on malicious links or attachments. In this scenario, the user received a removable USB device in the mail as a prize, which could be a phishing attempt to infect the user's computer with malware or gain access to the user's data. Dumpster diving, tailgating, and evil twin are not correct answers for this question. Dumpster diving is a type of attack that involves searching through trash bins or recycling containers to find discarded documents or devices that contain valuable information. Tailgating is a type of attack that involves following an authorized person into a restricted area without proper identification or authorization. Evil twin is a type of attack that involves setting up a rogue wireless access point that mimics a legitimate one to intercept or manipulate network traffic.
