Key Points

Types of Fraudulent practices in the cyber world:

• Phishing
  • It is a type of cyber attack often used to steal user data, including login credentials and credit card numbers. It occurs when an attacker, masquerading as a trusted entity, dupes a victim into opening an email, instant message, or text message.
• Pharming
  • It is like phishing in that it is a threat that tricks users into divulging private information, but instead of relying on email as the attack vector, pharming uses malicious code executed on the victim's device to redirect to an attacker-controlled website.

Additional Information

  • Blogging refers to writing, photography, and other media that's self-published online.
  • Blogging started as an opportunity for individuals to write diary-style entries, but it has since been incorporated into websites for many businesses

Therefore the correct answer is C and D only.
