[All FC0-U61 Questions]

File audits reveal nothing unexpected. Which of the following devices is most likely causing this message?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: A

A mobile phone is the most likely device that is causing this message, because it can be plugged into a USB port for charging or data transfer, and then unplugged when the user leaves the workstation. A mobile phone may also not be detected by the file audits, as it may not have any files stored on the workstation or may use encryption or password protection. A mouse, a scanner, and an external hard drive are less likely to be plugged and unplugged frequently, and they would also leave traces of their presence in the file audits or device manager.Reference:CompTIA IT Fundamentals+ FC0-U61 Cert Guide, Chapter 3: Device Ports and Peripherals, page 77;CompTIA IT Fundamentals+ (Exam FC0-U61) Module 4 / Unit 2 / Connecting to a Network, page 6;How to identify USB Ports in Device Manager?

True, but the file audits didn't show anything unexpected. Maybe it's just a simple mouse or scanner.

What about an external hard drive? People use those to transfer files and then take them out.

Could be, but a mobile phone wouldn't stay plugged in for hours.

Exactly. I think it's a mobile phone. They're plugged in often but taken away quickly.
