I think using htmlspecialchars() is more for output, not for preventing SQL injection, right? I’m a bit confused about that.

I'm feeling pretty confident about this one. Based on the question, I think the vendor would need to notify the VPA for any changes that impact security or access to sensitive information, like option B describes.

Hmm, I'm a little unsure about the order of system state backup, file system, and internet traces. I'll need to double-check my notes to make sure I have the right sequence.
