Question

Hackers deploy malicious software that looks real but can cause harm to computers and networks. Which type of cybercrime is this known as? a. Phishing b. Malware c. Identity theft d. Spamming

Answer 1

B. Malware

Step-by-step explanation:

Phishing means fraudulent emails, text messages, phone calls or web sites designed to trick users into downloading malware, sharing sensitive information or personal data (e.g., Social Security and credit card numbers, bank account numbers, login credentials), or taking other actions that expose themselves.

Identify theft means someone uses another person's personal identifying information, like their name, identifying number, or credit card number, without their permission, to commit fraud or other crimes.

And spamming means the use of messaging systems to send multiple unsolicited messages to large numbers of recipients for the purpose of commercial advertising, for the purpose of non-commercial proselytizing, for any prohibited purpose, or simply repeatedly sending the same message to the same user.
