Certified Information Privacy Technologist (CIPT) — Question 37

Which of the following modes of interaction often target both people who personally know and are strangers to the attacker?

Answer options

• A. Spam.
• B. Phishing.
• C. Unsolicited sexual imagery.
• D. Consensually-shared sexual imagery.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

Phishing is designed to deceive individuals into providing sensitive information and can affect both known contacts and strangers. In contrast, spam is generally unsolicited bulk messages, while unsolicited sexual imagery and consensually-shared sexual imagery target more specific audiences and do not necessarily aim at strangers.
