A and D for sure. That exploit's probably got more bugs than a roach motel. Better not open that attachment unless you want a front-row seat to the hacker show!

I agree with Leonie, that sounds like a possible effect of the exploit.

Hmm, I think A and D are the correct answers. If the user opens the attachment, the exploit can be launched without any additional software. Gotta be careful with those sketchy emails, am I right?
