Certified Ethical Hacker (CEH v11) — Question 376

Jake, a professional hacker, installed spyware on a target iPhone to spy on the target user's activities. He can take complete control of the target mobile device by jailbreaking the device remotely and record audio, capture screenshots, and monitor all phone calls and SMS messages.
What is the type of spyware that Jake used to infect the target device?

Answer options

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, Trident, as it is a sophisticated spyware that allows for comprehensive control of a device, including remote jailbreaking. The other options, while they are forms of malware, do not offer the same level of control or capabilities as Trident does, particularly in relation to iOS devices.
