While analyzing performance logs, you notice a hidden script that is misusing server resources to generate digital tokens. Which threat best matches this situation?
DDoS
Cryptojacking
Phishing
Ransomware
This scenario features malicious code that hijacks a system's resources for digital token creation. That is cryptojacking, which occurs when attackers install hidden software that consumes processing power to generate profit. Ransomware encrypts user files and demands payment. Phishing lures users into revealing details by using deceptive messages. DDoS focuses on flooding a target with excessive requests. The suspicious script in this question aligns with cryptojacking because it diverts computing power to generate digital rewards for attackers.
