Question

which scenarios are examples of the correct usage of a logic bomb? choose three answers. an attacker sets a logic bomb to detonate on christmas evo an attacker sets a logic bomb to detonate one month after they were fired from a company an attacker sets a logic bomb to detonate on may 5, 2005 at 5 pm an attacker sets a logic bomb to detonate in a power grid on the western coast an attacker sets a logic bomb to detonate randomly across several machines

Explanation:

A logic bomb is malicious code that triggers on a specific condition/time. Correct usages (from attacker's malicious intent perspective, as logic bombs are unethical/illegal but the question is about their "setup" logic) are when they trigger on a specific time/condition:

1. "An attacker sets a logic bomb to detonate on Christmas Eve" – triggers on a specific date.
2. "An attacker sets a logic bomb to detonate one month after they were fired from a company" – triggers on a condition (firing + time delay).
3. "An attacker sets a logic bomb to detonate on May 5, 2005 at 5 PM" – triggers on a specific date/time.

The other options: "detonate in a power grid..." is about target, not trigger logic; "detonate randomly..." lacks a specific trigger condition (logic bombs rely on specific logic/condition, not randomness).

Answer:

A. An attacker sets a logic bomb to detonate on Christmas Eve
B. An attacker sets a logic bomb to detonate one month after they were fired from a company
C. An attacker sets a logic bomb to detonate on May 5, 2005 at 5 PM
