Chapter 11, Problem 8RQ

You get a message from the company's email server demanding confirmation of your password change. Do you know you haven't changed the password? The password was changed, why? What malware would have provided an attacker the information they needed to change the password, and on what computers?

What components make up a solid backup plan? Backups for mobile devices and desktop computers are not the same.

Let's say your company's mail server sends you a message reminding you that you need to confirm the password change for your account. However, as far as you're aware, you didn't change the password! What may have caused the password to change? What kind of malware, and on what kinds of devices, may have given an attacker the details they required to change their password?

What kind of format is used by a password manager to store encrypted passwords? A USB disc, a web site, or anything else?

Make sure you are well-prepared in advance in case of any unexpected events. Where do mobile backup solutions most significantly depart from the general best practises for backing up a PC?

Which backup type, if performed daily, would offer the lowest RTO and why?

How should someone continue if they have forgotten both the administrator password and the system's power-on login?
