312-50v13 Exam Question 327
A regional healthcare provider in Portland, Oregon, recently migrated its patient scheduling portal to a new cloud platform. Within days, multiple patients reported that when searching online for the clinic's appointment system, they were directed to a website that looked identical to the official portal.
The fraudulent page appeared prominently in search engine results and prompted users to log in using their patient credentials. The URL closely resembled the legitimate domain name, and no internal DNS servers had been altered within the organization's infrastructure.
Security analysts later determined that the attacker had created a convincing replica of the portal and manipulated search visibility so that unsuspecting users would voluntarily navigate to the malicious site.
Which type of social engineering technique best explains this attack?
