CompTIA Server+ (SK0-005) — Question 190

Which of the following attacks is the most difficult to mitigate with technology?

Answer options

• A. Ransomware
• B. Backdoor
• C. SQL injection
• D. Phishing

Correct answer: D

Explanation

Phishing attacks are particularly challenging to counter with technology because they exploit human behavior rather than technical vulnerabilities. Unlike ransomware, backdoors, or SQL injection, which can often be mitigated through software solutions and security measures, phishing relies on tricking individuals into revealing sensitive information, making it less effective to address solely through technological means.
