CompTIA Security+ (SY0-601) — Question 655

During a wireless network scan at a data center the IT security team discovered Wi-Fi signals broadcasting from an unknown device. Which of the following best describes the cause of the incident?

Answer options

• A. Domain hijacking
• B. On-path attack
• C. Rogue access point
• D. Jamming

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, Rogue access point, as it refers to an unauthorized access point set up to intercept or manipulate network traffic. Domain hijacking and on-path attacks are not directly related to the presence of unknown Wi-Fi signals, while jamming involves interference rather than the broadcasting of signals.
