Exam CISSP topic 1 question 62 discussion

Question is about MOST COMMON, not highest threat. B is correct. Even Kiplan's link says that in the initial paragraph.

While all the options are potential risks, data leakage is the most common security risk associated with mobile devices. Variety of factors contribute to leakage: Mobile devices are easily lost or stolen, contain sensitive personal and work data, and often connect to untrusted networks. These factors dramatically increase the risk of data leakage.

Malware infection is not that common on mobile devices

Read the question to know what is asked. Risk and not threat . Common threat is malware like phishing however common risk is data leakage. There is different between risk and threats . Answer is D

I think everyone here would agree that threat and risk have a different definitions. To put it simply: (Risk = Asset x Vulnerability x Threat) So the threat of Malware infecting my phone could lead to the risk of... leaking data. Option D

Agree with D. That is the biggest concern of a business. not specifically about malware.. malware that is doing what... question doesnt say. D is clear and is the best answer.

The answer is D A. Data spoofing -Threat B. Malware infection - Threat C. Insecure communications link- Vulnerability D. Data leakage - Risk

You must first have malware than follow by data leak. Also not all mobile have important information to leak. Malware can infect a mobile phone than move to another device when its connected to the office network. This seems more logical.

D. Data leakage ......think of all the apps you installed on your phone. On the other hand, how many times have you had a malware on your phone? For me, never! Imagine all the data leakage that happens with all the apps installed on your phone. D. Data leakage is the correct answer. Guys again stop relying too much on chatgpt. Chatgpt says B. malware which is wrong.

D is correct!

malware infection is a common security risk for mobile devices, data leakage is the impact.

Commingling!!!!!!!!

Data leakage is more common, including device loss, device intrusion, and being seen on the screen, all of which can lead to data leakage

B: Malicious Apps and Websites. Like desktop computers, mobile devices have software and Internet access. Mobile malware (i.e. malicious applications) and malicious websites can accomplish the same objectives (stealing data, encrypting data, etc.)

B should be corrected. It mentions "most common" not "most impact".
