CompTIA Security+ (SY0-601) — Question 513

A security administrator manages five on-site APs. Each AP uses different channels on a 5GHz network. The administrator notices that another access point with the same corporate SSID on an overlapping channel was created. Which of the following attacks most likely occurred?

Answer options

• A. Jamming
• B. NFC attacks
• C. Disassociation
• D. Bluesnarfing
• E. Evil twin

Correct answer: E

Explanation

The correct answer is E, Evil twin, as this attack involves an unauthorized access point mimicking a legitimate one to trick users into connecting. The other options, such as Jamming and Disassociation, do not involve the creation of a rogue AP, while NFC attacks and Bluesnarfing are unrelated to wireless network impersonation.
