I thought spyware was more about stealing information, not giving access. So, I’m leaning towards Trojan too.

This reminds me of a practice question we did on malware types. I feel like Trojan fits best here.

I'm not entirely sure, but I remember something about backdoors allowing unauthorized access. Could that be it?

I think this sounds like a Trojan, since it disguises itself as legitimate software to trick the user.

This question seems straightforward. I'll focus on the key details about Dynamics 365 Connected Customer Service and try to match them to the answer options.

I feel pretty good about this one. The P3O guidance is clear that the Head of P3O and P3O Sponsor should be involved in reviewing the resourcing of the Programme Office. I'm leaning towards option A.

I'm pretty confident about this one. The IBM Cloud Cost Estimator is used to generate quotes for cloud resources, so I think the correct answer is Bare Metal Servers and Kubernetes Service.

I bet the remote attacker is using this as a backdoor to access the user's 'secret cookie stash'. Gotta keep those digital snacks safe, you know!

Hmm, tricky one. Could be a Trojan, but the remote access part makes me think Backdoor. Better double-check that security software!

Aha, this one's a classic! The unauthorized remote access screams 'Backdoor' to me. Gotta watch out for those sneaky trojans these days, they're getting more sophisticated.
