Due to unprofessional conduct in the workplace, a database administrator (DBA) has been terminated. All of the DBAâs access to the network environment was removed upon notification of termination. However, the DBA informs that company that unless he/she is paid $100,000 company databases will be deleted. What is the most likely approach the former DBA would use to delete the databases?
Denial-of-service (DoS) attack
Worm infection
Logic bomb attack
Virus infection
A logic bomb is hidden code that will activate when certain conditions are met; in this example, after a certain period of time. A virus is another type of malicious code, but it does not typically operate on a time delay. A worm also is a type of malicious code that does not use a time delay, but is designed to spread as quickly as possible. A DoS attack would not delete the database, but could make the service unavailable.
