The scenario described is a classic example of SMiShing, a form of social engineering attack that uses text messages (SMS) to deceive individuals into providing sensitive information. In this case, Christian receives an urgent message prompting him to call a phonenumber, which is a tactic used in SMiShing attacks to create a sense of urgency and legitimacy. Upon calling the number, he is asked to provide personal financial information, which is the ultimate goal of the attacker.

SMiShing attacks often impersonate legitimate entities, such as banks, to trick victims into believing that the request is authentic. The use of a recorded message asking for credit or debit card numbers and passwords is a telltale sign of a SMiShing attempt, as legitimate banks would not ask for such sensitive information via a phone call initiated by an unsolicited text message1. Therefore, the correct answer is A, SMiShing, which specifically refers to phishing attacks conducted through SMS.

• The Post Office Protocol version 3 (POP3) is a standard email protocol that allows users to retrieve emails from a mail server. Unlike other email protocols (such as IMAP), POP3 downloads emails to the user’s device and removes them from the server. In Sam’s case, setting up POP3 ensures that emails containing sensitive data are directly downloaded to his device without leaving a copy on the mail server.

• The AP sends a challenge text to the station.
• The station connects to the network.
• The station encrypts the challenge text using its configured 128-bit key and sends the encrypted text to the AP.
• The station sends an authentication frame to the AP.
• The AP uses its configured WEP key to decrypt the encrypted text and compares it with the original challenge text.

Therefore, the correct sequence is C. 4—>1—>3—>5—>21. This order ensures that the challenge text is exchanged securely and verified by both the station and the AP during the shared key authentication process.
