After downloading the file his computer restarted and now will not allow anyone to login unless they enter credit card information. Which option best describes the attack used in this scenario based on the information available?

  • The CEO executed a Rootkit which gave backdoor access to a hacker

  • A botnet is attacking the CEO's computer and disabling login attempts
