Exam CIPT topic 1 question 208 discussion

The correct answer is **A. Encryption**. In the context of a forensic investigation on the darknet, understanding encryption is crucial because compromised personal data might be encrypted to protect its confidentiality. Encryption techniques are often used both by attackers to hide their tracks and by organizations to secure sensitive data. In a forensic investigation, being able to understand and potentially decrypt data or recognize encrypted data is key to analyzing the breach and tracing the origins or the extent of the compromise.
