A contractor's access ends Friday, and Saturday morning a script on a records server deletes selected case files. Which malware pattern does this most clearly illustrate?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
A logic bomb is the delayed trapdoor—set the condition, walk away, and the payload fires later. Here the trigger was the contractor's last day, not a spray attack or a DNS trick.
Full Explanation
Logic bombs are malicious code designed to activate when a specified condition or time occurs, such as after an employment end date. Password spraying, DNS poisoning, and DDoS are different malicious-activity indicators involving authentication abuse, name resolution tampering, and traffic floods respectively—not delayed conditional deletion of records.
