Really? I thought poisoning was more common in these cases.

Totally agree with Mammie, encryption all the way!

Wait, shifting numbers? Isn't that just a simple cipher?

I think it's obfuscation, not encryption.

That's definitely encryption! Shifting numbers is a classic method.

I'm leaning towards encryption too, but I wonder if obfuscation could fit here since it also involves making data less recognizable.

Could it be tunneling? I feel like that was mentioned in a different context, but I'm not confident.

I remember practicing a question about obfuscation, and it sounds similar, but I can't recall the exact details.

I think this might be encryption since it involves shifting data, but I'm not entirely sure.

Ah, I see what they're getting at now. Obfuscation is the technique where you intentionally make the data more difficult to interpret, which is exactly what the threat actor is doing by shifting the numbers. Good catch.

Hmm, I'm a little unsure about this one. Encryption, obfuscation, and tunneling all seem like they could be related to hiding data. I'll have to think this through carefully.

This one seems pretty straightforward. Shifting numbers to the right four times is a type of obfuscation, so I'm going with C.

Okay, I think I've got it. Shifting the numbers to the right is a way to make the data harder to read and understand, which is the definition of obfuscation. C is the answer.

Encryption? Nah, that's too obvious. Gotta go with obfuscation for the win!

But shifting numbers to the right four times sounds more like obfuscation to me.

Shifting numbers to the right four times? That's some serious 'Matrix' level coding right there.

Obfuscation? Sounds like a fancy way to say 'hiding in plain sight'.

Obfuscation can make it harder for investigators to understand the data.

D: Poisoning doesn't seem right, it's more about corrupting data.
SH

C: Tunneling could also work, hiding the data in a tunnel.

B: I think it's obfuscation, making it hard to understand the data.

I think encryption would be a better choice to avoid detection.

A: Encryption is the answer, it's all about scrambling the data.
AS

Yes, obfuscation is like hiding something in plain sight.

I disagree, I believe it's obfuscation.

I think the answer is encryption.
