I feel like correcting the classifications immediately could lead to issues later. Better to follow a process and identify the owners first, right?

I'm not entirely sure, but I remember something about notifying management first in similar practice questions. Maybe that's what we should do?

I recall that documenting findings is crucial, but I wonder if notifying the board is also necessary in this case. It's a bit confusing!

I feel like I've seen questions like this before, and I think packet sniffing is definitely a possibility since it involves capturing data packets, right?
