Question

Following a recent security incident at a popular online retail store, an incident response team is investigating. They determined that an attacker made thousands of purchase attempts using varying combinations of credit card information in only a few minutes. The team also found that the same IP address was responsible for every transaction. As a computer hacking forensic investigator, which attack type is most likely involved?

A Cookie Poisoning attack.
B Brute Force attack.
C Parameter Tampering attack.
D XML External Entity (XXE) attack.

Explanation

A brute-force attack uses automated, repeated attempts with many possible credential or payment-card combinations in a short time. A single IP address generating thousands of purchase attempts is characteristic of this pattern.
