APhishing emails.

BDenial of service.

CBrute-force attacks.

DSocial engineering.

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: C

'Privacy by Design' is a framework that involves embedding privacy protections into the system's architecture from the ground up. This approach ensures that privacy is considered throughout the entire system development lifecycle. The IAPP documents highlight that Privacy by Design requires proactive measures to integrate privacy controls directly into technologies and business practices to prevent privacy issues before they arise, rather than addressing them reactively.

I’m leaning towards social engineering as well, but I wonder if there are other methods that could be just as effective.

I feel like brute-force attacks could work too, but they usually take a lot of time. Social engineering seems more direct.

I’m not so sure about that. I remember practicing questions where phishing was also a big factor in bypassing security.

Phishing emails are a common way to trick users, but I'm not sure if that's the best answer here. I'll need to consider all the options carefully.

Brute-force attacks can also be effective, but they require a lot of time and computing power. I'll have to weigh the pros and cons.

I heard the best way to get into a system is to just ask the IT guy for the password. They always share it, right?
