A. B. C. D.A.
The correct answer is A. Data diddling.
Data diddling is a type of computer fraud in which data is changed prior to or during input to a computer. The goal of data diddling is to commit fraud by altering data in a way that is beneficial to the perpetrator.
Wiretapping and eavesdropping are forms of interception of data that are done without altering the data. Wiretapping involves tapping into communication lines to intercept messages, while eavesdropping involves listening in on conversations without the knowledge or consent of the parties involved.
Spoofing involves impersonating another user or system to gain access to data or resources. This can be done through a variety of means, including email spoofing, IP spoofing, and DNS spoofing.
In summary, while wiretapping, eavesdropping, and spoofing are all types of cyber attacks, they do not involve changing data prior to or during input to a computer. Data diddling is the correct answer as it involves altering data in an effort to commit fraud.
