Wait, how can it be a controlled event? That seems sketchy.

I’m not entirely confident, but I feel like they were in the containment phase since they were trying to manage the situation after the discovery of the malfunctioning software.

This reminds me of a practice question where we discussed controlled events. I think they were confirming that it wasn't a full-blown incident, which could relate to preparation.

I’m a bit unsure, but I think this might relate to the identification phase since they were trying to determine what was happening with the network.

I remember studying the incident handling process, and I think the step they took was more about assessing the situation rather than containment or eradication.
