A user attended the wedding of a coworker and took pictures using a smartphone. The user receives phone calls from several coworkers the next day and is shocked to learn that these pictures now appear on multiple web pages. What is a possible cause for the incident?
- The passcode for the smartphone has been hacked.
- The user account for the cloud service has been hacked.
- The smartphone sent the pictures to the websites by mistake.
- The smartphone is set to automatically upload files to the coworker group folder.
Explanation & Hint:
Many service carriers offer cloud-based storage for mobile devices to upload contents to the cloud service for backup purposes. However, if the user account to the cloud service is compromised, a hacker can access the contents freely. |
