Question 3 • SC-Fundamentals of Computing - Content Recovery - Laws & Security

Which of these are ways a hacker might learn someone's password? Select 3 options.

Answer
A
dumpster diving
B
keylogger
C
botnet
D
social engineering

Explanation

Dumpster diving can reveal written passwords or other personal information that helps someone guess them. A keylogger records the keys a person types, including passwords. Social engineering tricks someone into revealing a password. A botnet is a network of infected devices, not a direct method for learning a particular person’s password.
