Question

cybercriminals may exploit natural disasters in which way?

by leaking sensitive company information
by not backing up data
by donating money to support organizations
by impersonating support organizations

Explanation:

Analyze the question context

The question asks how cybercriminals exploit natural disasters. Natural disasters create urgency, fear, and a desire to help.

Evaluate the options

• by leaking sensitive company information: This is an outcome of a breach, not a method of exploiting a disaster.
• by not backing up data: This is a failure of internal IT policy, not an action taken by cybercriminals.
• by donating money to support organizations: Cybercriminals steal money rather than donating it.
• by impersonating support organizations: Cybercriminals set up fake charities or impersonate legitimate relief organizations to steal donations or personal information.

Determine the correct choice

Impersonating support organizations is a common social engineering tactic used during crises to exploit human empathy.

Answer:

• (A) by leaking sensitive company information
• (B) by not backing up data
• (C) by donating money to support organizations
• (D) by impersonating support organizations (Correct answer)
