CompTIA A+ Core 2 (220-1102) — Question 208

While staying at a hotel, a user attempts to connect to the hotel Wi-Fi but notices that multiple SSIDs have very similar names. Which of the following social-engineering attacks is being attempted?

Answer options

• A. Evil twin
• B. Impersonation
• C. Insider threat
• D. Whaling

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is 'Evil twin' because this attack involves creating a fraudulent Wi-Fi network that mimics a legitimate one to capture sensitive information. The other options, such as 'Impersonation,' 'Insider threat,' and 'Whaling,' refer to different types of attacks not specifically related to misleading Wi-Fi networks.
