I'm leaning towards option D. Maybe one of the new system administrators made a mistake.

I disagree, I believe it's option B. The user is just moving files to free up space.

Whoa, that's pretty concerning! If I had to guess, I'd say option A is the most likely scenario. A malicious actor breaching the system and staging data for exfiltration sounds like a classic hacker move.
