Selected Answer: A
A. Quarantine the computer. If a technician encounters a file or system that is requesting payment to a cryptocurrency address, it could be indicative of ransomware. Ransomware is a type of malicious software that encrypts files or locks users out of their systems, demanding payment (usually in cryptocurrency) for the release of files or access. The first step in responding to a potential ransomware attack is to isolate and quarantine the affected system to prevent the spread of the infection to other networked devices. This involves disconnecting the infected computer from the network to contain the threat. Therefore, the correct initial action in this scenario is to: A. Quarantine the computer.
