Correct answer: It serves as the foundational building blocks required to commit identity theft and open fraudulent accounts.

Basic demographic and personal history data act as digital building blocks. Cybercriminals aggregate this information to answer security questions, impersonate the victim, and commit identity theft, which is often more lucrative long-term than simply stealing a credit card number.

Correct answer: Integrity

Integrity ensures that data remains accurate and unaltered by unauthorized parties. Because the attacker modified the blood types, the integrity of the data was compromised. Since the system stayed online (Availability) and the data wasn't exfiltrated or viewed by the external attacker (Confidentiality), Integrity is the primary violation here.

Correct answer: Credit card fraud involves unauthorized use of an existing account, while identity theft involves impersonating the victim to open new accounts or claim benefits.

Standard credit card fraud is the unauthorized use of a victim's existing payment card. Identity theft is a broader and more damaging crime where the attacker uses the victim's personal information (like SSN) to assume their identity, open new lines of credit, or commit crimes under the victim's name.

Correct answers: Installing and maintaining updated antivirus software with real-time scanning.; Configuring a hardware firewall on the home router to block unauthorized inbound traffic.; Utilizing strong, unique passwords combined with Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) for all online accounts.

Defense in depth involves using multiple overlapping security layers. Updating antivirus (Endpoint Protection), using a firewall (Network Protection), and enforcing strong passwords/MFA (Identity Protection) are three distinct and critical layers. Disabling updates or using a single password decreases security.
