Exam 350-201 Topic 4 Question 34 Discussion

Actual exam question for Cisco's 350-201 exam
Question #: 34
Topic #: 4
Employees report computer system crashes within the same week. An analyst is investigating one of the computers that crashed and discovers multiple shortcuts in the system's startup folder. It appears that the shortcuts redirect users to malicious URLs. What is the next step the engineer should take to investigate this case?

Suggested Answer: C Vote an answer

When multiple shortcuts in the system's startup folder redirect to malicious URLs, the next step is to identify all affected systems. This is crucial to understand the scope of the issue and to prevent further spread of the malware. Removing the shortcuts (option A) is a necessary step but should be done after identifying all affected systems to ensure a comprehensive response. Checking the audit logs (option B) and investigating the malicious URLs (option D) are also important steps, but they come after identifying all systems that might be compromised
