A security analyst notices that specific files are being deleted each time a systems administrator is on vacation. Which of the following BEST describes the type of malware that is running?
A logic bomb is a type of malware that is programmed to execute a malicious action when specific conditions are met. In this case, the logic bomb is triggered whenever the systems administrator is on vacation, causing specific files to be deleted. The purpose of a logic bomb is often to cause damage or disruption to a system or organization at a specific time or under certain circumstances.
Fileless viruses, on the other hand, are malware that reside in a system's memory and do not leave traditional traces on disk, making them more difficult to detect. Keyloggers are designed to record keystrokes and capture sensitive information, while ransomware encrypts files and demands a ransom for their release. Neither of these options aligns with the given scenario.
