An attacker infiltrates a company's network and steals customer credit card information. What is the likely motivation behind this attack?
Data exfiltration
Financial gain
Revenge
Espionage
Financial gain is the likely motivation because the attacker can use or sell the stolen credit card information for monetary profit. Espionage involves obtaining confidential information for strategic advantage, typically in a political or corporate context, which is not indicated here. Revenge would suggest the attacker has a personal vendetta against the company, but there is no such indication. Data exfiltration refers to the unauthorized transfer of data, but in this context, it's the means rather than the motivation.
