• None of the above.

The central processing unit (CPU)

• permanently. Read-only memory (ROM) is read-only and

  does not change often.

• does the grunt work of the computer.

• saves your progress in many different software programs so

  that you can access that temporarily saved data later on. RAM is temporary. It is wiped when

  you turn off the computer.

• Storage allows use to save data more permanently. Read-only memory (ROM) is read-only and

  does not change often.

Backdoors

• All hardware is susceptible to

  flooding, fires, and dust, which can lead to loss of

  capability or data if not properly stored or physically

  secured.

• Can be built into hardware and later get

  exploited by attackers.

• Some malware can install itself on RAM rather than

  the hard drive, making them much more difficult to detect

  and eliminate.

• Can be attacked through malware that can crash

  the BIOS. Also can be accidentally harmed by users using

  unauthenticated files to update the files that have

  unintended consequences.
