A company is experiencing a DDoS attack. Several internal workstations are the source of the traffic. Which of the following types of infections are the workstations most likely experiencing? (Choose two.)
In a scenario where several internal workstations are the source of traffic in a DDoS attack, the workstations are most likely infected with one or both of the following:
A. Zombies: Workstations infected with malware and controlled by an external entity to participate in a DDoS attack are often referred to as "zombies." These compromised machines become part of a botnet used for carrying out coordinated attacks.
D. Botnet: A botnet is a network of compromised computers, including workstations, that have been infected with malicious software, turning them into "bots." These bots can be controlled remotely to carry out various malicious activities, including DDoS attacks.
The other options (B. Keylogger, C. Adware, E. Ransomware, and F. Spyware) are types of malware or malicious software but are not directly associated with participating in DDoS attacks like zombies and botnets are.
