'Bad Rabbit', 'LockBit' and 'WannaCry' are terms often heard in news in context of:

  • A.Israel-Palestine Conflict
  • B.Climate change induced epidemics
  • C.Nuclear warfare
  • D.Ransomware attacks

Answer: D

They are names of ransomware attacks.

Ransomware is malicious software that encrypts a victim's files and demands payment for the key. WannaCry spread worldwide in May 2017 through a Windows vulnerability, Bad Rabbit struck mainly in Russia and Ukraine later in 2017, and LockBit is a ransomware group and software behind many attacks since 2019.

The names have nothing to do with the Israel-Palestine conflict, epidemics or nuclear war; they appear in cyber-security news.
