A hacker wants to infiltrate a target’s computer to plant malware that allows them undetected privileged access to control the computer. What type of malware would the hacker want to use?
The answer is a rootkit. A rootkit allows a hacker to gain privileged access to a target’s computer while being extremely difficult to detect. The other choices are other types of malware that do not allow for control of the infected computer.
