Question 1 of 30👑 VIP
A security analyst is reviewing SIEM alerts and notices the following pattern over 48 hours: a single external IP address made 3 failed login attempts to the VPN portal each day, staying just below the account-lockout threshold of 5 failures. The source IP rotates every 12 hours, but all attempts target the same five user accounts. Which attack technique BEST describes this activity, and what is the most appropriate immediate response? A) Credential stuffing; block the IP range at the perimeter firewall B) Password spraying; enforce MFA on VPN accounts and alert the affected users C) Brute-force attack; increase the account-lockout threshold to reduce false positives D) Spear-phishing reconnaissance; quarantine the affected user endpoints
