Correct Answer:
A: Phishing is the act of sending an email to a user falsely claiming to be an established legitimate enterprise in an attempt to scam the user
into surrendering private information that will be used for identity theft.
Phishing email will direct the user to visit a website where they are asked to update personal information, such as a password, credit card,
social security, or bank account numbers, that the legitimate organization already has. The website, however, is bogus and set up only to steal
the information the user enters on the page.
B: Whaling is a specific kind of malicious hacking within the more general category of phishing, which involves hunting for data that can be
used by the hacker. In general, phishing efforts are focused on collecting personal data about users. In whaling, the targets are high-ranking
bankers, executives or others in powerful positions or job titles. Hackers who engage in whaling often describe these efforts as "reeling in a big
fish," applying a familiar metaphor to the process of scouring technologies for loopholes and opportunities for data theft. Those who are
engaged in whaling may, for example, hack into specific networks where these powerful individuals work or store sensitive data. They may also
set up keylogging or other malware on a work station associated with one of these executives. There are many ways that hackers can pursue
whaling, leading C-level or top-level executives in business and government to stay vigilant about the possibility of cyber threats.
C: Vishing is the act of using the telephone in an attempt to scam the user into surrendering private information that will be used for identity
theft. The scammer usually pretends to be a legitimate business, and fools the victim into thinking he or she will profit.
D: SPIM is a term sometimes used to refer to spam over IM (Instant Messaging). It's also called just spam, instant spam, or IM marketing. No
matter what the name, it consists of unwanted messages transmitted through some form of instant messaging service, which can include
Short Message Service (SMS)
E: Social engineering is a non-technical method of intrusion hackers use that relies heavily on human interaction and often involves tricking
people into breaking normal security procedures. It is one of the greatest threats that organizations today encounter. A social engineer runs
what used to be called a "con game." For example, a person using social engineering to break into a computer network might try to gain the
confidence of an authorized user and get them to reveal information that compromises the network's security. Social engineers often rely on the
natural helpfulness of people as well as on their weaknesses. They might, for example, call the authorized employee with some kind of urgent
problem that requires immediate network access. Appealing to vanity, appealing to authority, appealing to greed, and old-fashioned
eavesdropping are other typical social engineering techniques. http://www.webopedia.com/TERM/P/phishing.html
