CompTIA A+ Core 2 (220-1102) — Question 63

A user connected a laptop to a wireless network and was tricked into providing log-in credentials for a website. Which of the following threats was used to carry out the attack?

Answer options

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D, Evil twin, as it refers to a rogue Wi-Fi access point that mimics a legitimate one to capture sensitive information. Options A (Zero day) and C (DDoS) are not relevant to this scenario, as they pertain to software vulnerabilities and denial-of-service attacks, respectively. Option B (Vishing) involves voice phishing, which is unrelated to the wireless network context presented in the question.
