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

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

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!

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'.
