An example of baiting as a social engineering technique is leaving a malware-infected CD with a misleading label for a user to find. What concept is baiting based upon?
Weak security policies.
The curiosity of the user.
Auto-run feature of the target system.
Misconfigured antivirus software on the target system.
Baiting exploits the curiosity of the user. While some of the other choices may apply to this particular scenario, baiting does not always involve infected CDs. It may involve a file disguised as a free movie download, etc. Weak security policy does not apply here: even with a strong policy in place, some user would still fall for the bait out of curiosity.
