An employee in the finance department receives an email from the CEO asking for immediate review of an attached document labeled 'Financial_Report_2023.xls'. The employee was not expecting any reports today. What potential threat could this file pose if the employee fails to take proper security measures before opening it?
The file could be a duplicate of a file already present on the network, leading to data redundancy.
The attachment is likely a template for future financial reports and opening it would set a new standard format.
Opening the file will automatically archive older financial reports for efficiency purposes.
The file may contain malicious code that can execute upon opening, compromising the integrity of the employee's system.
