CompTIA Security+ (SY0-601) — Question 330

A user s laptop constantly disconnects from the Wi-Fi network. Once the laptop reconnects, the user can reach the internet but cannot access shared folders or other network resources. Which of the following types of attacks is the user most likely experiencing?

Answer options

• A. Bluejacking
• B. Jamming
• C. Rogue access point
• D. Evil twin

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The user is likely encountering an Evil twin attack, where a malicious access point mimics a legitimate one, causing connection issues and restricting access to shared resources. Bluejacking is unrelated as it involves sending unsolicited messages via Bluetooth, while Jamming disrupts the signal but does not affect resource access. A Rogue access point could be a concern, but it doesn't specifically explain the inability to access shared folders after reconnection.
