I hope no one shares the question bank with user: Olamsky. A website has provided assistance with real based question. With a lot of testimonies of passes. You still want something free? You want to rob exam topic of the financial resources they will use to keep running this website? You have two options , you either save to purchase the subscription, or read on your own and pass. The question is , how bad do you plan to pass.

Selected Answer: C
Domain hijacking: Domain hijacking involves unauthorized changes to the registration of a domain name. While it's related to unauthorized access to a domain, it's not directly related to SSL certificate mismatches.

This looks more like DNS poisoning rather than a hijacked website.

The hijack action allows them to change information within the website itself. Spoofing merely redirects to a fake website.

RETURNING AFTER GOING THROUGH Q: 1-849 3x dumps source> https://rb.gy/o17anp Just passed on 4/3/2024 with 821/900 first try no IT background just used the CompTIA study guide book and this. 74 Questions 3 PBQ --> I think +70 including the PBQs were straight from here! Well worth spending the $ for the full question bank here. Honestly running thru this at least 1x maybe 2x and you should be good to go. Trust the discussion answers and in Stoneface we trust<3 Good luck everyone you got this!

I think it is not clear if this is a DNS poisoning or a hijacked domain. The mismatch warning could be presented in both attacks. I think the information is incomplete and you would have to assume a part to select either option. But I would select DNS poisoning, the reasin would be that when going to a HTTPS website, it is giving the certificate mismatch error. When going to HTTP website it is not. It is common for DNS poisoning to target HTTPS as there is where the sensitive data is. So why would they make this difference? Also the fact that it is getting a certificate mismatch is an indication that the DNS records were manipulated and the user could be being redirected to a server with a maybe manipulated certificate by an attacker that has a certificate that is not the expected certificate.

I took my test 17 March 23 and pass with 826. 90 % of the question came from 600-845. My PBQ’s 153, 155, 733, 734. So, I do recommend the site. My advice read the commends and understand the answer. Thanks for all the help. Good luck to everyone else...!!!
