CompTIA Security+ study material · question 429 of 611

Why do campaigns by unskilled attackers tend to appear soon after a vulnerability is disclosed?

  1. They rely on tools built by others, so their activity tracks public exploit availability
  2. They develop exploits faster than other actors
  3. They target only unpatched systems by policy
  4. They receive advance notice from vendors
Show the answer

Answer: A. They rely on tools built by others, so their activity tracks public exploit availability

Their capability is downstream of what someone else has published, which is why disclosure timing predicts their activity.
