Prepare for the CompTIA SecAI+ CY0-001 exam. In this lesson: deepfakes and impersonation, misinformation and disinformation, adversarial networks, reconnaissance and automated data correlation, social engineering, obfuscation, and automated attack generation: attack vector discovery, payloads, malware, honeypots, and DDoS, with Fernhill Telecom as the running example. Includes three original practice questions.

  • Before an attack, a group uses AI to link the social profiles of Fernhill engineers, a leaked password list, and job postings, into a file on each target. What is this?
  • Fernhill’s antivirus catches a malware sample, but the next day, it returns in fifty versions, each with different code that behaves the same way. Which technique is this?
  • A false post claiming that Fernhill leaked all customer passwords spreads quickly, and an analysis shows that a group created it on purpose, to hurt the company. What is this?
