Certified Information Privacy Technologist (CIPT) — Question 242

When designing a new system, which of the following is a privacy threat that the privacy technologist should consider?

Answer options

• A. Caching.
• B. Dark patterns.
• C. Social engineering.
• D. Identity and Access Management.

Correct answer: B
