Selected Answer: C
A sabotage attack is a deliberate action aimed at disrupting, damaging or destroying computer systems, networks, and infrastructure. In the context of software security, sabotaging an application involves injecting malicious code into its source code or corrupting its data to impair its proper functioning. Sabotage attacks can lead to loss of critical data, downtime of essential services and applications which leads to business disruption and financial losses. It can also impact the reputation of an organization that relies on technology for operation if such incidents result in breach of confidentiality or integrity violations.
