CompTIA PenTest+ (PT0-003) — Question 150

While conducting an assessment, a penetration tester identifies the details for several unreleased products announced at a company-wide meeting. Which of the following attacks did the tester most likely use to discover this information?

Answer options

• A. Eavesdropping
• B. Bluesnarfing
• C. Credential harvesting
• D. SQL injection attack

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A, Eavesdropping, as it involves intercepting communications to gather sensitive information. The other options such as Bluesnarfing and SQL injection attacks are unrelated to the context of overhearing discussions, and Credential harvesting pertains to obtaining user credentials rather than listening in on meetings.
