A security auditor is performing a vulnerability scan to find out if mobile applications used in the organization are secure. The auditor discovers that one application has been accessed remotely with no legitimate account credentials. After investigating, it seems the application has allowed some users to bypass authentication of that application. Which of the following types of malware allow such a compromise to take place? (Choose two.)
A. RAT
B. Ransomware
C. Worm
D. Trojan
E. Backdoor
AE Mobile apps are REMOTE – so RAT (remote access tools) – and backdoor
(The term “RAT” (Remote Access Tool) can be considered a synonym to “backdoor”, but it usually signifies a full bundle including a client application meant for installation on the target system, and a server component that allows administration and control of the individual ‘bots’ or compromised systems.)
