Google Cloud Digital Leader — Question 97

Which cybersecurity threat can lead to information being stolen or damaged without a user ever being aware?

Answer options

• A. SLA policy violation
• B. Malware attack
• C. Ransomware attack
• D. Incomplete data input

Correct answer: B

Explanation

A malware attack can operate silently in the background, allowing it to steal or damage information without the user noticing. In contrast, a ransomware attack typically alerts users through demands for payment, while an SLA policy violation and incomplete data input do not directly involve unauthorized access or damage to information.
