A colleague of yours recently had his computer hacked. He is trying to secure it from future attacks and tells you he has a strong password on the administrator account, with an active firewall that is well configured, and an antivirus program. Which of the following may he have forgotten?
Explanation
Answer: A - To secure a system from future attacks, it is important not to forget disabling the default guest account.
Key Takeaway: The guest account, included in most Windows versions, is automatically included but usually disabled by default. This is because it provides an easy access point to intruders. You should not change default email ports, windows updates should occur automatically, and writing your password down is never a good idea (use one you can keep committed to memory).
