Q.3. [CO1] Consider the following scenario: A large financial institution has recently fallen victim to a
Consider the following scenario: A large financial institution has recently fallen victim to a sophisticated cyber
attack. The attackers employed a multi-stage attack strategy, starting with a phishing email campaign targeting
the institution’s employees. After successfully compromising an employee's account, the attackers gained
access to the internal network. They then escalated their privileges, deployed malware, and eventually
exfiltrated sensitive customer data, including financial records and personal information.

Based on this scenario:

1. Identify and describe the types of cyber-attacks that were utilized in each stage of the attack. Explain
how each attack type operates and how it contributed to the overall breach.

2. Discuss the role of cybersecurity awareness and training in preventing such attacks. How can
organizations ensure their employees are better equipped to recognize and respond to phishing attempts
and other social engineering tactics?
