Which of the following bring-your-own-device (BYOD) practices is likely to increase the risk of infringement on local regulations, such as copyright or privacy laws?
A.
Not installing anti-malware software.
B.
Updating operating software in a haphazard manner.
C.
Applying a weak password for access to a mobile device.
Jailbreaking a locked smart device (removing manufacturer-imposed restrictions) increases the risk of infringing on copyright and privacy laws, as it allows unauthorized access to software and applications.
Option A (Not installing anti-malware software) – Increases security risks but does not directly violate regulations.
Option B (Haphazard OS updates) – Can lead to vulnerabilities but is not a legal issue.
Option C (Weak passwords) – Poses a security threat but does not impact compliance with laws.
Since jailbreaking often violates software licenses and may lead to illegal use of software, Option D is the correct answer.
