In an office environment, if an attacker gains access to a shared document and modifies its contents without permission, which type of security concern does this illustrate?
Modifying the contents of a document without permission is a clear example of unauthorized information alteration. This scenario compromises the integrity of the data, as the original information has been altered without authorization. Unlike eavesdropping or power outages, which affect confidentiality and availability respectively, unauthorized information alteration specifically impacts data integrity.
