Sample question
From the quiz pool.
Domain 2.0 Threats and Mitigations
A caller identifying as the company CEO calls the help desk claiming to be locked out of email before an important board meeting. They cannot recite their employee ID and want a password reset right away. The CEO's actual account shows an active session from the HQ office. What is the most appropriate response?
AReset the password and email it to the caller
BAsk the caller to email IT from the CEO's address to confirm
CRefuse the reset and escalate to security as a potential vishing attemptAnswer
DReset the password and require MFA verification
Why
The real CEO is already signed in from HQ. The unverified caller is using authority and urgency, classic vishing tells. The right move is to refuse the reset, document the call, and escalate to security to investigate. Any other choice could leak credentials to an attacker.
