Exam CFR-310 topic 1 question 29 discussion

D. Logic bomb Explanation: A logic bomb is malicious code that triggers when specific conditions are met. In this scenario, the script is designed to delete proprietary data following the removal of an administrator from the employee list, which is a classic example of a logic bomb, as it executes based on this specific event. Why the other answers are incorrect: A. Backdoor: A backdoor provides unauthorized access to a system, but it does not rely on a specific condition like the removal of an administrator from an employee list. B. Rootkit: A rootkit is used to hide the presence of malicious activity on a system, but it doesn't describe the conditional execution of malicious actions like a logic bomb. C. Time bomb: A time bomb is similar to a logic bomb but is triggered at a specific time, rather than by an event or condition like an employee removal.

The answer is D. Logic bomb. In this case, the logic bomb would delete the proprietary data when the specific administrator is removed from the employee list.
