IT hacking can take many forms, and it is important for Procurement professionals to be aware of different ways their data can be compromised or stolen through cyber attacks. Which of the following is not a type of cyber attack?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: D

Gooseberry is not a type of cyber attack. The others---birthday attacks, phishing, and man-in-the-middle---are real cybersecurity threats. Other common attacks include malware, denial of service (DoS), drive-by attacks, password attacks, SQL injection, cross-site scripting, and eavesdropping. (P.146)

A birthday attack? I'd love to get a cake and some presents, but that's not a real cyber threat. D is the clear choice here.

Phishing, man-in-the-middle, those are classic hacking techniques. But Gooseberry? What's that, a new species of bird?

Birthday attack? Sounds like a party, not a cyber threat! D is the only answer that doesn't make sense.
