Brute force? Nah, I think it was just poor password choice.

Totally agree, social engineering is a big risk too!

Wait, could it really be a zero-day attack? That seems unlikely.

Definitely a dictionary-based attack. 'Faulkner' is too easy!

Sounds like a classic case of password guessing.

Social engineering could also be a possibility, especially if someone knew Andrew's personal info. I need to think more about that.

I feel like we covered brute force attacks in class, but I'm not convinced that's what happened here. It seems too obvious.

I'm not entirely sure, but I think a dictionary-based attack might be relevant since 'Faulkner' is a common word.

I remember we discussed how simple passwords like 'Faulkner' are really easy to guess, so I think password guessing could be a method used here.

No problem, I've got this. The answer has to be E, ?=, since that's not a standard comparison operator in Splunk.

Okay, let me break this down. The key things I remember are that the employees selling the nondeposit investments need to be trained, and the products need to be suitable for the customers. I think the answer is that it's not a requirement to check the history of the employees before hiring them.

I'm a bit confused on this one. I remember learning about the Stored Procedure transformation, but I can't recall the specific port types. I'll have to review the material and make an educated guess.

I'm confident the Automatic Replies command is available in Exchange Server accounts. The other options don't sound as familiar to me for that specific feature.

This question seems straightforward. I think the answer is C - business architecture enables strategic and organizational alignment of investment options.
