Question

question: 15
what is one of the potential consequences of a cyberattack on a business?
internal personnel disputes
loss of revenue
government fines
higher taxes

Explanation:

A cyberattack can disrupt business operations (e.g., shutting down e - commerce platforms, disabling production systems). This disruption directly affects the ability of the business to generate income. For example, if an online retailer is hacked and its website is taken down for days, it loses sales during that period. Internal personnel disputes are usually due to human - resource related issues (conflicts, mismanagement etc.), not cyberattacks. Government fines may occur if a business fails to comply with regulations (e.g., data protection laws), but this is not a direct and immediate consequence of a cyberattack in the same way as loss of revenue. Higher taxes are set by government fiscal policies and not related to cyberattacks.

Answer:

Loss of revenue
