Answer to Question 1

Users should open email attachments only from known sources. Also, even when opening attachments from known sources, users should do so with great care. With a properly configured firewall, email is the only outside-initiated traffic that can reach user computers. Most antimalware programs check email attachments for malware code. However, all users should form the habit of never opening an email attachment from an unknown source. Also, if users receive an unexpected email from a known source or an email from a known source that has a suspicious subject, odd spelling, or poor grammar, they should not open the attachment without first verifying with the known source that the attachment is legitimate.

Answer to Question 2

B
