Zero-day is the right term, but I get the confusion.

Wait, are we sure it's not an advanced persistent attack?

I recall a practice question that mentioned zero-day attacks specifically targeting vulnerabilities before fixes are released. That seems to fit here.

Zero-day sounds right, but I feel like I might be mixing it up with advanced persistent threats.

I'm not entirely sure, but I remember something about active online attacks being more about ongoing exploitation rather than exploiting unpatched vulnerabilities.

I think this might be a zero-day attack since it involves exploiting vulnerabilities before a patch is available.

Wait, what about HIPAA? Isn't that important for healthcare-related designs? I better double-check that.

Social engineering, got it. That's the technique where the attacker tries to exploit the human element rather than technical vulnerabilities. Definitely the right answer here.

I'm not sure about this one. The NEW state could mean a few different things, and I'm not clear on the implications of the server being in a particular state. I'll need to review my notes to figure this out.
