Answer: A
Explanation:
:
1: Spear phishing is an e-mail spoofing fraud attempt that targets a specific organization, seeking
unauthorized
access to confidential data. As with the e-mail messages used in regular phishing expeditions, spear
phishing
messages appear to come from a trusted source. Phishing messages usually appear to come from a large
and
well-known company or Web site with a broad membership base, such as eBay or PayPal. In the case of
spear
phishing, however, the apparent source of the e-mail is likely to be an individual within the recipient's own
company and generally someone in a position of authority.
2: The Hoax in this question is designed to make people believe that the fake AV (anti- virus) software is
genuine.
3: Vishing is the act of using the telephone in an attempt to scam the user into surrendering private
information
that will be used for identity theft. The scammer usually pretends to be a legitimate business, and fools the
victim into thinking he or she will profit.
4: Email spam, also referred to as junk email, is unsolicited messages sent in bulk by email (spamming).
5: Similar in nature to e-mail phishing, pharming seeks to obtain personal or private (usually financial
related)
information through domain spoofing. Rather than being spammed with malicious and mischievous e-mail
requests for you to visit spoof Web sites which appear legitimate, pharming 'poisons' a DNS server by
infusing
false information into the DNS server, resulting in a user's request being redirected elsewhere. Your
browser,
however will show you are at the correct Web site, which makes pharming a bit more serious and more
difficult
to detect. Phishing attempts to scam people one at a time with an e-mail while pharming allows the
scammers
to target large groups of people at one time through domain spoofing.
