I thought it was botnets at first, but this makes sense.

Sounds like a classic case of a Trojan attack.

I thought ransomware was more about locking files for payment, so I don't think that's it. But I'm not entirely sure about malvertising either.

I was confused about the difference between botnets and Trojans. Could this be a botnet if the orders were placed through a compromised system?

I think this might be a Trojan because it involved clicking a link that led to fraudulent activity. It feels like a trick to get access to the system.

I remember studying about phishing attacks, and this seems similar since the clerk clicked on a link in an email. But I'm not sure if that's the right term here.

Okay, I think I've got it. The sales clerk was tricked into clicking a link, which allowed the attackers to gain access and make fraudulent orders. That sounds like a Trojan horse attack to me. I'm going with C for the answer.

Hmm, this is a tricky one. The email and link seem like a phishing attempt, but the outcome of increased sales makes me wonder if it could be a more complex attack like a Trojan or botnet. I'll review the details again and try to identify the specific type of cyber-attack.

This seems like a classic phishing attack, where the sales clerk was tricked into clicking on a malicious link. I'm pretty confident the answer is C - Trojan.

I'm a bit confused by this question. The details about the fraudulent orders and credit card charges make me think it could also be a botnet or malvertising attack. I'll need to think this through carefully.
