  1. Answer is (D)

    Straight from the CCNA OCG:
    Digital forensics evidence provides implications and extrapolations that may
    assist in proving some key fact of the case. Such evidence helps legal teams
    and the court develop reliable hypotheses or theories as to the committer of the
    crime (threat actor). The reliability of the evidence is vital to supporting or
    refuting any hypothesis put forward, including the attribution of threat actors.

    The OCG “DIKTA Quiz” is incorrect, based in its’ own information.
    If you notice, the OCG states the correct answer is D, which is correct, but then has the incorrect explanation.

    Original Question:

    4. Which of the following is not true regarding the use of digital evidence?

    a. Digital forensics evidence provides implications and extrapolations
    that may assist in proving some key fact of the case.
    b. Digital evidence helps legal teams and the court develop reliable
    hypotheses or theories as to the committer of the crime or threat actor.
    c. The reliability of the digital evidence is vital to supporting or

    actors.

    Answer:

    refuting any hypothesis put forward, including the attribution of threat

    As you can see the text from the answer choices does not match the correct answer letter.

  2. C. The reliability of the digital evidence is vital to supporting or refuting any hypothesis put forward, including the attribution of threat actors.
