Answer:

The answer here is False.

Explanation:

Encryption protects the data and not access to data.

In some cases, the hacker may not necessarily be trying to access or decrypt the data. They may prevent one from accessing it by placing a Ransomeware virus on it.

What a Ransomeware virus would do is to prevent the legal and rightful owner from accessing such data (whether encrypted or not) until their demands are met.

In many cases, they would ask for monies or cryptocurrencies.

Another way hackers attempt to get encrypted files is to try to get the decryption keys instead. The best practice against this is to keep decryption keys manually or in a password manager. Another way to protect very sensitive information is to have sensitive systems isolated from the internet.

EastWind [94]

The missing word here is social.

Social engineering involves using simple human methods to steal data, such as looking through peoples’ drawers for pieces of paper on which they might have written down passwords, or perhaps sneaking a look at the keys you press while walking past your desk as you are typing your password. Such behaviors designed to steal your personal information are methods of social engineering.
