0Christina is reviewing a Linux system that she is responsible for, and notices that the /usr filesystem is 80 percent full. After review, she notices that a single user's home directory has hundreds of files in it that were recently added. What type of indicator of compromise should she categorize this as?
Answer Options
A
Resource inaccessibility
B
Blocked content
C
Impossible travel
D
Resource consumption
Correct Answer: D
Explanation
While resource consumption alone may not indicate a compromise, unexpected consumption of resources may indicate unexpected or unwanted activity. Christina should look for other indicators of compromise to determine if she needs to declare a security incident. Resource inaccessibility would require the resource to not be available or working, and at 80% full a Linux filesystem will still work. There is no description of the content, and no content access was prevented, so this is not blocked content. Impossible travel occurs when logins or other resource usage occur in two locations at times that do not allow for travel between the locations.
