3. Question
1 pointsConsider the following statements:
- Macro virus are malicious software that uses the macro capabilities of common applications such as spreadsheets and word processors to infect data.
- A Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attack is an attempt to make an online service unavailable by overwhelming it with traffic from a single specific source.
- Worm is malware that replicates itself so it can spread to infiltrate other computers.
Which of the statements given above is/are correct?
Correct
Statement 1 and 3 are correct.
Macro viruses are most commonly found embedded in documents or inserted as malicious code into word-processing programs. They may come from documents attached to emails, or the code may be downloaded after clicking on “phishing” links in banner ads or URLs. They are difficult to detect, as they do not operate until an infected macro is run, at which time they perform a series of commands. A macro virus is similar to a Trojan virus, since it may appear benign and users may not immediately notice any ill effects. Unlike Trojans, however, macro viruses can replicate themselves and infect other computers.
A computer worm is self-replicating malware that duplicates itself to spread to uninfected computers. Worms often use parts of an operating system that are automatic and invisible to the user. It is common for worms to be noticed only when their uncontrolled replication consumes system resources, slowing or halting other tasks.
Statement 2 is incorrect. A Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attack is an attempt to make an online service unavailable by overwhelming it with traffic from multiple sources.
They target a wide variety of important resources, from banks to news websites, and present a major challenge to making sure people can publish and access important information.

Correct
The term ‘domestic content requirements (DCR)’ sometimes appearing in news, has a connection to Jawaharlal Nehru National Solar Mission (NSM) or National Solar Mission
The dispute settlement body (DSB) of World Trade Organization (WTO) has decided to set up panel to examine whether India has complied with its 2016 ruling in case against US regarding domestic content requirements (DCR) rules for solar cells and modules.
In 2013, US had filed complaint before WTO, arguing that domestic content requirement imposed under India’s ambitious Jawaharlal Nehru National Solar Mission (NSM) violates global trading rules by unfavourably discriminating against imported solar cells and modules. In February 2016, WTO panel had ruled that India had violated its national treatment obligation, by imposing the domestic content requirement. US had claimed that its solar exports to India have fallen by more than 90% since India had brought in the DCR rules.
