What is a scareware attack?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: C

Rule-based detection methods rely on predefined rules and patterns that are known beforehand. These rules are created based on prior knowledge of what constitutes normal and abnormal behavior.

Statistical detection, on the other hand, involves analyzing data to identify anomalies. It is based on assumptions about what normal behavior looks like and uses statistical methods to detect deviations from this norm.

Rule-based systems are typically straightforward but may miss novel attacks that do not match existing rules.

Statistical methods can detect previously unknown threats by recognizing patterns that deviate from established baselines but may produce more false positives.

Scareware? More like 'scared-of-ware', amirite? But seriously, D is the way to go. Those popups are the stuff of nightmares.

Gotta be D, hands down. Scareware is all about using scare tactics to manipulate people, and those flashing popup windows are the perfect tool for the job.

Hmm, I'm torn between A and D. Both sound sneaky and underhanded, which is par for the course when it comes to scareware attacks.
