Computer Hacking Forensic Investigator (CHFI v10) — Question 586

What should you do when approached by a reporter about a case that you are working on or have worked on?

Answer options

• A. Refer the reporter to the attorney that retained you
• B. Say, "no comment"
• C. Answer all the reporter's questions as completely as possible
• D. Answer only the questions that help your case

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct response is to refer the reporter to the attorney that retained you, as they are the appropriate point of contact for media inquiries. Saying 'no comment' does not provide guidance, while answering all questions or only those that help your case could lead to legal complications or misinterpretations.
