Which of the following statements best describes a "malicious user redirection" threat?

A "malicious user redirection" threat involves manipulating the navigation of users to send them to harmful websites. This type of attack can occur through phishing schemes, where attackers disguise malicious URL links as legitimate ones, leading unsuspecting users to sites designed to steal personal information, deploy malware, or conduct other nefarious activities.

The essence of this threat lies in the compromised trust of users, who may think they are accessing a safe, familiar site but are actually being led to a location where they can be exploited.

Redirecting users to helpful resources, providing legitimate updates, and offering rewards for clicking links do not represent threats. Instead, these actions may often be seen as positive or benign, lacking the malicious intent inherent in a user redirection attack where the goal is to deceive and exploit users.
