I vaguely recall that we should avoid executing files with certain extensions, so that makes me think option C is a good practice. D seems off to me.

I think we practiced a similar question where it was emphasized that trusted sources are generally okay. So, I would lean towards D as the incorrect one.

I remember discussing how downloading from trusted sources is usually safe, so I think option D is the one that doesn't fit.

I'm not entirely sure, but I feel like all the other options are definitely good practices. Maybe it's D, but I could be wrong.

Yammer, got it. This question seems straightforward enough, but I'll make sure to double-check my work before submitting the answer. Don't want to miss any details.

Ah, I see what they're getting at now. Option D makes the most sense - you'd want to enable data integrity checks to ensure the logs and data you're indexing haven't been tampered with, for auditing and legal purposes.

Option D? Seriously? Next they'll be telling us to download free antivirus software from a sketchy website. Gotta love these security exam questions.

Option D, really? Guess they're trying to see if we're paying attention. I bet the guy who wrote this question has a pet rock named 'Malware' at home.

Hah, the 'trusted sources' one is a trick question if I ever saw one. You can't be too careful these days, even the 'trusted' guys might slip up.

Ah, I see what they're getting at. Trusting any source completely is a bad idea. Gotta stay vigilant, even with the 'trusted' ones.
