Read the following paragraph and answer the questions 11 to 15

Unlike-mail based phishing attacks that have less than a 1% success rate, phishing attacks on social media appear to be far more successful and simulated attacks report more than a 40% success rate. The high victimization rate can be attributed to the unique nature of social media phishing attacks. For one, phishing attacks on social media occur over relatively new and evolving platforms such as Facebook and Google Plus, where the interface, its functionalities, and its user protections are constantly changing. Consequently individuals may be unable to achieve a degree of mastery over the use of the platform. Two, e-mail-based phishing is usually a one-stage attack, where the phisher sends an e-mail to a large number of individuals and awaits a response. In contrast, phishing attacks on social media are often two-stage attacks. In the first stage, the phisher sends a friend-request and attempts to friend (connect with) a potential victim. The acceptance of a friend-request could net a wealth of information about the victim. Given the networked nature of social media, the phisher could also gather information about every other person the victim is connected to and the friends of those other individuals as well. The phisher could then move to the second-stage of the attack and utilize Facebook’s in-built messaging function to request information directly from the victim. Such requests could be for personal information and could be tailored by using information from the victim’s profile, wall posts, and news feeds, making the request more personalized and, thus, persuasive.

13- What nature of social media cause the phisher to gather information about every other person the victim is connected?

a) large number of individuals           b)network                    c)persuasive                d) interface

a) two              b) one              c) direct                       d)indirect
