Free CompTIA PenTest+ PT0-002 Practice Question

During a penetration testing engagement, what should a penetration tester do if they inadvertently discover evidence of illegal activity on the target system?

  • Document the finding and continue the test, reporting it only at the end of the engagement.

  • Delete the evidence to avoid implicating the client in any illegal activity.

  • Ignore the evidence as it is outside the original scope of the engagement.

  • Report the finding immediately to the appropriate contact and authorities.
