C. A watering-hole attack A watering-hole attack involves compromising a website that is frequently visited by the target individuals. In this scenario, the red team has already discovered that an external web server is frequented by employees. By compromising this server and using it as a watering hole, attackers can exploit the trust employees have in the website to deliver malicious content or conduct further attacks. This type of attack is particularly effective when employees visit the compromised site, unaware that it has been tampered with, making it a suitable choice for compromising company systems in this context.
