Nathaniel's organization has recently deployed multifactor authentication (MFA), which requires both a password and an MFA code to be provided to authenticate to critical services. Despite this, an attacker has recently logged into an administrative console using a password and MFA code belonging to a user. Which of the following types of malware is most likely to allow an attacker to successfully undertake this type of attack?

Answer Options

A

A virus

B

A worm

C

A logic bomb

D

A keylogger

Correct Answer: D

Explanation

Attackers are increasingly relying on keyloggers that can capture information entered at a keyboard and send it to them, allowing them to quickly use the information to log in before the user can use an MFA code. Viruses, worms, and logic bombs are not designed to provide this functionality.
