Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: A 🗳️
Telnet, by default, does not encrypt any data sent over the connection (including passwords), and so it is often practical to eavesdrop on the communications and use the password later for malicious purposes; anybody who has access to a router, switch, hub or gateway located on the network between the two hosts where
Telnet is being used can intercept the packets passing by and obtain login, password and whatever else is typed with a packet analyzer.

Since it was developed before it was also adapted to the Internet, TELNET does not use any form of encryption, which makes it obsolete in terms of modern security. It has been ousted from the Secure Shell (SSH) protocol, at least on the Internet.
