Certified Information Privacy Technologist (CIPT) — Question 167

Properly configured databases and well-written website codes are the best protection against what online threat?

Answer options

• A. Pharming.
• B. SQL injection.
• C. Malware execution.
• D. System modification.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B, SQL injection, as it specifically exploits vulnerabilities in poorly written code or improperly configured databases. The other options, such as pharming and malware execution, involve different attack vectors that are not directly prevented by database configuration or code quality, while system modification refers to unauthorized changes that may not be directly related to the database or code integrity.
