File Injection Attack? Psh, that's so 2010. Ransomware is where it's at these days.

I’m confused; I thought DoS attacks were more about overwhelming systems rather than changing file names.
BR

I practiced a question similar to this, and I believe ransomware was the answer because it encrypts files and changes their extensions.

I'm not entirely sure, but I remember something about file injection attacks causing issues with files too.

I think this might be related to ransomware since it often changes file extensions to lock them.

I feel pretty confident that A is the right answer here. Ransomware is known for rapidly changing file extensions and renaming files as part of the encryption process. The other options don't seem to match that specific behavior.

Okay, let me think this through step-by-step. Ransomware is designed to encrypt files and demand a ransom, so that makes sense. DoS and DHCP starvation are more about disrupting network access, not file changes. File injection is a different kind of attack. I'm leaning towards A, but I'll double-check my understanding.

KA

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure on this one. I know ransomware can cause file changes, but I'm not totally sure if that's the only attack that does that. I might need to think through the other options a bit more carefully.
VI
Viola
