Assessing Corporate Cybersecurityintermediate
Which detail correctly describes the 2024 Change Healthcare incident, rather than the MGM Resorts incident?
Answer
Healthcare operations and pharmacy services were significantly disrupted
Explanation
### Why this is right
- **It occurred in 2024** is correct because the course labels the example Change Healthcare (2024).
- **Healthcare operations were impacted** is correct because the slide explicitly says so.
- **Sensitive data exposure involved 197 million records** is correct because the slide reports that figure.
### The concept
When analyzing a case, separate stated facts from assumptions. The course gives a year, an operational effect, and a reported record count for Change Healthcare. It does not identify the attack type in the supplied slide text. The MGM Resorts example, by contrast, is explicitly associated with social engineering and hotel and casino systems. Avoid transferring those details between cases.
### The other options
- **D. It was described as a social engineering attack affecting hotel and casino systems**: Those details belong to the MGM Resorts example, not the Change Healthcare description.
- **E. The material identifies it as a supply-chain attack**: Supply-chain attacks appear in the general threat list, but the slide does not label the Change Healthcare incident as one.
### Terms
- **Sensitive data**: Information that requires protection because exposure may cause harm.
- **Supply-chain attack**: An attack that exploits a supplier or other dependency to affect an organization.
### Remember
Use only the case facts explicitly assigned to that incident.
