The correct answer is: Cross-site request forgery (CSRF).<\/p>\n

Cross-site request forgery (CSRF) is a type of attack that occurs when a user is tricked into submitting a malicious request to a web application that they are currently authenticated to. This can be done by including a malicious link in an email or on a website that the user visits. When the user clicks on the link, their browser will automatically submit the malicious request to the web application, even if they do not intend to. This can allow the attacker to perform actions on the web application on behalf of the user, such as transferring money, making purchases, or changing account settings.<\/p>\n

Cross-site scripting (XSS) is a type of attack that occurs when a malicious script is injected into a web page that is then executed by a user’s browser. This can allow the attacker to steal the user’s cookies, session tokens, or other sensitive information.<\/p>\n

Two-factor authentication (2FA) is an additional security measure that requires users to provide two forms of identification in order to log in to a website or application. This can help to prevent unauthorized access, even if the user’s password is compromised.<\/p>\n

Cross-site scoring scripting is not a real attack. It is a made-up term that is not used in the security industry.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
