What are the consequences of this to the reliability of the information?
A . The integrity of the information is no longer guaranteed.
B . The availability of the information is no longer guaranteed.
C . The confidentiality of the information is no longer guaranteed.
D . The Security of the information is no longer guaranteed.

Answer: C

Explanation:

Confidentiality is one of the Confidentiality, Integrity, Availability (CIA) principles of information security that states that only authorized parties should have access to information assets. Confidentiality protects the secrecy and privacy of information from unauthorized disclosure or exposure. Often, people do not pick up their prints from a shared printer. This can affect the confidentiality of information, as anyone who passes by the printer can see or take the printed documents that may contain confidential or personal information. This can lead to information leakage, identity theft, fraud, or other malicious activities. Therefore, the correct answer is C.
