Selected Answer: D
D. ANDREAD. The reason she was most likely compromised is because of her impossible travel time from Italy to USA and she was PERMITTED access both times. LauraB is not compromised because yes, while she did travel from England to USA in 45 seconds, one login attempt was DENIED! So it's safe to assume one was the REAL Laura and one was a bad actor logging in at about the same time.

If these are email 'access' logs from O365 i might expect to see users appear to connect from different regions depending on the resources that they are accessing but i would not expect access attempts from CHINA if i was based in the west, which i am. CINDYP is seen accessing email from USA which is permitted then a second later seen logging in from CHINA for which the access is DENIED. As a security analyst this would be the FIRST log entry i would query. Why are we seeing failed login attempts into CINDYP' account from CHINA?

1hr:05mins difference in time for Andread is an impossible travel time, hence the user is compromised.

what about the 45 seconds it took LauraB to get from England to the U.S.? she was also denied her second attempt, what am I missing here?

Laura was Denied on "her" second attempt. Real Laura was permitted, Fake Laura got denied.
