Selected Answer: C
The dark web is a part of the internet that is not indexed by traditional search engines and is known for hosting various illicit activities, including the sale of stolen personal information, such as social security numbers, credit card information, and other sensitive data. In a social engineering attack where the CEO's personal information was stolen, it is likely that the attackers would attempt to sell or trade this information on the dark web to other malicious actors. Monitoring the dark web for the CEO's personal information is crucial for detecting potential threats and mitigating the risks associated with the stolen data. Organizations often use specialized cybersecurity tools and services to monitor the dark web for such information and take appropriate actions to protect their employees and business from further harm.
