Refer to the exhibit.An engineer is analyzing a .LNK (shortcut) file recently received as an email attachment and blocked by email security as suspicious. What is the next step an engineer should take?
A) Delete the suspicious email with the attachment as the file is a shortcut extension and does not represent any threat.
B) Upload the file to a virus checking engine to compare with well-known viruses as the file is a virus disguised as a legitimate extension.
C) Quarantine the file within the endpoint antivirus solution as the file is a ransomware which will encrypt the documents of a victim.
D) Open the file in a sandbox environment for further behavioral analysis as the file contains a malicious script that runs on execution.

I remember discussing how .LNK files can sometimes be used to launch malware, so I think we should be cautious.

Alright, I think I've got a handle on this. The issue is that R7 is being elected as the DR, which is causing the adjacency to fail. I'll need to configure R7 to have a lower OSPF priority to prevent it from being elected as the DR.

B is the way to go. Why waste time analyzing it when you can just upload it to a virus checker and get the answer right away? Though I'm kind of curious to see what kind of crazy script is in there...
