Steffanie Graff is an investment advisor with Wimbledon Advisors, Inc. She recently obtained her CFA charter, reflected on her new business cards. In a meeting, she told a couple of her new clients something to the effectof the following: "I have a long record of successful investment advises, which have led my client accounts to have an annual return of 32% over the past 3 years. I am sure you will be quite satisfied with my performance." In reality, a large part of this return was caused by a very lucky coincidence wherein one of the penny stocks in a client account registered a 200% increase over a short time due to a takeover.

q252: dns poisoning is the correct answer, not locator redirection. beaconing is detected from a host. this indicates that the system has been infected with malware, which could be the source of local dns poisoning. location redirection works by either embedding the redirection in the original websites code or having a user click on a url that has an embedded redirect. since users at a different office are not getting redirected, it isnt an embedded redirection on the original website and since the user is manually typing in the url and not clicking a link, it isnt a modified link.
