QuestionQ31

Cyber Threat Landscape

Sam works as a loan agent for a financial institution. He often receives emails from clients that provide their personal details for loan approval. Because these emails contain sensitive data, Sam configured a feature that downloads the emails directly to his device without retaining a copy on the mail server.

Which of the following protocols provides the email features described above?

  • A ICMP
  • B SNMP
  • C POP3
  • D SHA-1
Explanation

POP3 retrieves email messages by downloading them to the client device and can remove them from the mail server after retrieval. This behavior fits a configuration that keeps sensitive email locally rather than retaining a server copy.
