Select ALL correct pairings of security incident and security impact.
Answer
Interception of data: confidentiality impact, Modification of data: integrity impact, Interruption of a service: availability impact
Explanation
### Why this is right
- **A** is true: interception exposes information to an unauthorized party, harming confidentiality.
- **B** is true: modification changes data, harming integrity.
- **C** is true: interruption prevents access, harming availability.
### The concept
The course's attack classification connects the kind of harm to the affected security goal. Fabrication is associated with authenticity because an attacker creates or presents false data as genuine.
### The other options
- **D. Fabrication of data: confidentiality impact**: fabrication concerns whether data is genuine, so it relates to authenticity rather than confidentiality.
### Terms
- **Interception**: unauthorized access to or observation of information.
- **Fabrication**: creation of false data or activity presented as genuine.
### Remember
Exposure affects confidentiality; alteration affects integrity; interruption affects availability.
