Answer: A
A callback feature hooks into the access control software
and logs all authorized and unauthorized access attempts,
permitting the follow-up and further review of potential

potentially bypassing callback control. By dialing through
an authorized phone number from an unauthorized phone
number, a perpetrator can gain computer access. This
vulnerability can be controlled through callback systems
that are available.
