Haha, system overheating? That's like asking which of these is a risk for a human driver: flat tire, speeding, or a sudden rainstorm. C'mon, that's just too easy.

I'm pretty sure the correct answer is B, D, and E. Although, I can't help but wonder if the person who wrote this question is the same one who still uses a flip phone.

All of these options are human risks, except for C. I mean, unless your cybersecurity team is made up of superheroes who can control the temperature with their minds.

I think E is also a human risk because obsolescent technology can make it easier for hackers to exploit vulnerabilities.

Weak passwords and obsolescent technology are definitely human risks. I mean, who still uses 'password' as their password in this day and age?

Duh, malware and unsecure attachments are obvious human risks. But system overheating? That's more like a hardware issue, not a human one.
