Certified Information Systems Auditor (CISA) — Question 1195

Which of the following poses the GREATEST risk to the use of active RFID tags?

Answer options

• A. Phishing attacks
• B. Session hijacking
• C. Piggybacking
• D. Eavesdropping

Correct answer: D

Explanation

Eavesdropping represents the highest risk to active RFID tags as it involves unauthorized interception of the signals they emit, potentially exposing sensitive information. Phishing attacks and session hijacking are more relevant to digital communications rather than RFID technology. Piggybacking, while a concern, does not directly compromise the RFID tags' data integrity like eavesdropping does.
