In the context of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT), which of the following statements is or are true?

1.In an email system, the Bcc field allows the sender of a message to conceal the recipient entered in the Bcc field from the other recipients

2.Phishing is a malicious program installed on a system that stays concealed, avoiding detection

3.Spamming is an attempt to acquire sensitive information for malicious reasons by masquerading as a trustworthy entity

A2 & 3 only

B2 only

C1 only ✓ Correct

D1 & 3 only

Correct answer: (C) 1 only

Explanation

Only Statement 1 is correct: the Bcc field lets the sender hide those addresses from the other recipients.

Statement 2 is wrong because a hidden malicious program that avoids detection describes a rootkit or spyware, not phishing.

Statement 3 is wrong because acquiring sensitive information by masquerading as a trustworthy entity is phishing, not spamming.

Phishing actually uses fake emails or sites to trick users into revealing passwords or card details.

Spamming is the sending of unsolicited bulk messages, often for advertising.

Bcc stands for blind carbon copy, keeping listed recipients invisible to one another.
