Discussion
Which of the following is a type of cyber attack that involves tricking users into revealing sensitive information ?
Answer: A
Tricking users into revealing sensitive information is a Phishing attack.
In phishing, the attacker sends an email, message or link that pretends to come from a trusted source, such as a bank, and lures the victim into entering passwords, card numbers or one-time passwords on a fake page. It relies on deceiving people rather than breaking software.
An SQL injection attack inserts malicious database commands into input fields to read or alter data, and a denial-of-service (DoS) attack floods a system with traffic to make it unavailable. Neither depends on tricking a user, so 'None of the above' is also wrong.
