Question

a few computers at a high - security software firm location have been compromised. the threat actor took user videos, confidential information like bank account ids and passwords, email ids and passwords, and computer screenshots. these confidential data have been shared every three hours from the computers to the threat actor. which of the following is correct, based on the evaluation of the above observation?

this is a software keylogger attack, as it is sharing the information every three hours to the attacker.
this is a hardware keylogger attack; it is only periodically sharing the information and is a manual transfer of information by a human agent.
this is a software keylogger attack, as screenshots, video captures, and keystrokes have been routinely monitored and periodically shared.
this is a hardware keylogger attack, as video capture functionality and periodic transfer of data are not possible with a software keylogger.

what is a risk to data when training a machine learning (ml) application?

ml algorithm security
tainted training data for machine learning
api attack on the device
improper exception handling in the ml program

Explanation:

Question 7

Software keyloggers can monitor screenshots, video captures, keystrokes and share data periodically. Hardware keyloggers don't typically capture video and screenshots in this way. The data - sharing every three hours is consistent with software - based automated behavior.

When training a machine - learning application, one of the main risks to data is having tainted training data. Tainted data can lead to inaccurate or maliciously influenced machine - learning models. ML algorithm security is more about the algorithm itself, API attacks are about the interface, and improper exception handling is a programming issue related to the ML program's operation rather than a direct data risk during training.

Answer:

This is a software keylogger attack, as screenshots, video captures, and keystrokes have been routinely monitored and periodically shared.
