Explanation

When a site is blocked due to a low web reputation score, the default (un-customized) End-User Notification includes the Threat Type - a human-readable label describing the nature of the threat associated with the blocked site (e.g., malware, phishing). This gives users meaningful context about why the site was blocked without exposing internal scoring data.

Why the distractors are wrong:

  • A (Authenticated user): Authentication details are not surfaced in the default EUN; that information is captured in logs, not displayed to the end user.
  • B (DVS engine verdict): The DVS (Dynamic Vectoring and Streaming) engine handles malware scanning - its verdict applies to content inspection blocks, not reputation-based blocks.
  • C (Web reputation score): The numeric WBRS score is an internal mechanism. It does not appear in the default notification - only its consequence (the Threat Type) is shown.

Memory tip: Think of it from the user's perspective - they need to know what kind of threat the site poses (Threat Type), not a cryptic number (score) or backend engine output. "Type tells the type of danger, score stays behind the scenes."
