CompTIA Security+ (SY0-701) — Question 393

Which of the following threat actors would most likely deface the website of a high-profile music group?

Answer options

• A. Unskilled attacker
• B. Organized crime
• C. Nation-state
• D. Insider threat

Correct answer: A

Explanation

An unskilled attacker is often motivated by notoriety and may target high-profile sites for attention, making them the most likely candidate for website defacement. Organized crime, nation-states, and insider threats typically have different motivations or more sophisticated goals that do not align with simply defacing a website.
