Which of the following is NOT a feature of blocking ransomware? A. A message on the user’s screen appears pretending to be from a reputable third party.
B. It prevents a user from using their computer in a normal fashion.
C. It can be defeated by a double power cycle.
D. It is the earliest form of ransomware.
The correct answer is D. It is the earliest form of ransomware.
Explanation: Blocking ransomware is a type designed to restrict access to the user’s computer or data, often displaying a message that appears official (option A) and preventing normal usage (option B). The term “earliest form of ransomware” suggests it relates to the historical evolution of ransomware rather than its blocking features. Thus, it is not a characteristic of blocking ransomware. Options A, B, and C describe behaviors typical of this ransomware type.
The correct answer is D. It is the earliest form of ransomware.
Explanation: Blocking ransomware typically has characteristics that disrupt the normal use of a computer and may display fake messages. However, the statement that it is the earliest form of ransomware is not a feature but rather a contextual fact about ransomware history. Early forms may not have exhibited the same characteristics as modern blocking ransomware does.
