Wait, what? Michael's trying to hack my system? I better beef up my security ASAP. Passive attack, huh? Sounds like the right answer to me.

Hmm, this seems like a passive attack to me. Michael is collecting data without any active interaction with Bob's system. That's gotta be option D!

I'm not sure, but I think it could also be B) Insider attack since Michael is an attacker trying to hack Paola's system from within.

I agree with Arlene. Michael is collecting data without actively interacting with the system, so it's definitely a passive attack.
