Exam CFR-310 topic 1 question 35 discussion

C. PII/PHI (Personally Identifiable Information / Protected Health Information) Explanation: PII/PHI is highly valuable on the black market because it can be used for identity theft, insurance fraud, and other financial crimes. Health information, combined with personal details, is particularly lucrative for attackers because it can be sold for high prices and exploited in various illegal schemes. Why the other answers are less desirable for a financially motivated attacker: A. Transaction logs: While these might contain useful information, they are not as immediately valuable or exploitable as PII/PHI. B. Intellectual property: Intellectual property may be valuable, but it’s typically more of a target for espionage or sabotage rather than financial gain through quick exploitation. D. Network architecture: Understanding the network's structure could help in launching further attacks, but on its own, it doesn’t provide direct financial gain.
