CompTIA CySA+ (CS0-003) — Question 103

Which of the following threat actors is most likely to target a company due to its questionable environmental policies?

Answer options

• A. Hacktivist
• B. Organized crime
• C. Nation-state
• D. Lone wolf

Correct answer: A

Explanation

Hacktivists are individuals or groups who use technology to promote political agendas, often targeting organizations they believe are acting unethically, such as those with poor environmental policies. The other options, like organized crime and nation-states, typically have different motivations, such as financial gain or geopolitical goals, making them less likely to focus specifically on environmental issues.
