CompTIA A+ Core 2 (220-1102) — Question 204

A technician discovers user input has been captured by a malicious actor. Which of the following malware types is MOST likely being used?

Answer options

• A. Cryptominers
• B. Rootkit
• C. Spear phishing
• D. Keylogger

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D, Keylogger, as this type of malware specifically captures keystrokes and user input. Cryptominers focus on mining cryptocurrencies, Rootkits are used to gain unauthorized access and hide their presence, and Spear phishing is a social engineering tactic rather than a malware type.
