Sometimes interviewers ask questions to probe your breadth of knowledge. If I asked this question of an entry level candidate, they would rank up a notch if they were able to make a serviceable answer. But being unable to answer would not disqualify them, since entry level is not required to already know this.
Breadth of understanding is very valuable... if you don't consider how your software affects others (users, IT, budgets, etc), you are not going to make very good software. Entry level devs are given a narrow scope and allowed to be somewhat ignorant of these things in the beginning. But they should not stay that way.
For further actions, you may consider blocking this person and/or reporting abuse
