Question:

Cynthia wants to minimize the likelihood of successful credential harvesting attacks via her organization's commercial websites. Which of the following is NOT a popular prevention method targeted at stopping credential harvesting?

A Use of complex usernames.
explanation

Username complexity has no impact on credential harvesting. Multifactor authentication can help prevent successful credential harvesting by ensuring that even the capture of username and password is not enough to compromise the account. Awareness training helps to reduce the likelihood of credential exposure, and limiting or preventing the use of third-party web scripts makes websites less likely to have credentials stolen through the use of those scripts, plug-ins, or modules.
