A security team received reports of users receiving emails linked to external or unknown URLs that are non- returnable and non-deliverable. The ISP also reported a 500% increase in the amount of ingress and egress email traffic received. After detecting the problem, the security team moves to the recovery phase in their incident response plan. Which two actions should be taken in the recovery phase of this incident? (Choose two.)

I think scanning hosts should be prioritized too.

I feel like requesting packet capture could provide valuable insights, but I can't recall if it fits into the recovery phase specifically.

I'm a bit confused about whether we should focus on removing vulnerabilities or scanning hosts first. They both seem important.

I remember a practice question where collecting logs was emphasized as a key action. It seems like it would help understand the scope of the issue.

I think verifying the breadth of the attack is crucial, but I'm not entirely sure if that's the best first step in recovery.

I've got this! Verifying the breadth of the attack and collecting logs are the two actions I would take in the recovery phase. Gotta gather all the evidence to understand what happened and how to prevent it in the future.

Okay, let's think this through. Verifying the breadth of the attack and collecting logs are definitely important to assess the situation. Removing vulnerabilities could also be a good step to prevent further incidents.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about this one. I think collecting logs and requesting packet capture would be key to investigate the incident, but I'm not sure about the other options.

This question seems straightforward. I'd focus on verifying the breadth of the attack and collecting logs to understand the scope and impact.

Removing vulnerabilities is definitely important, but I think it should come a little later in the process. First, they need to get a handle on the situation and contain the damage.

Requesting packet capture can also help in analyzing the traffic and identifying any malicious activity.

I agree, verifying the breadth of the attack and collecting logs should be the first steps to understand the extent of the incident.

Haha, I bet the IT guys are pulling their hair out trying to keep up with that 500% increase in email traffic. Crazy stuff!

Requesting packet capture is a great idea too. That data could give the security team valuable insights into the attack vector and help them plug any holes.

Verifying the breadth of the attack and collecting logs seem like the obvious next steps to me. Can't really recover from an incident without understanding the full scope of the problem.

After that, we should scan hosts with updated signatures to ensure we have addressed all vulnerabilities.
