Question 138

Jimmy is standing outside a secure entrance to a facility. He is pretending to have a tense conversation on his cell phone as an authorized employee badges in.

Jimmy, while still on the phone, grabs the door as it begins to close.

What just happened?

    Correct Answer: A

    In this scenario, Jimmy is taking advantage of the authorized employee who is badging into the facility to gain entry without using his own credentials. This behavior is known as piggybacking, where an unauthorized person follows an authorized person into a secure area. The other options like masquerading, phishing, and whaling do not describe this physical security breach.
