A security analyst is reviewing logs and notices that a user account has been successfully logging into a server at 3:00 AM every day for the past week.

Which conclusion is most justified?

The logins are likely legitimate because the user works the night shift, but the file share access should be investigated

The logins are definitely unauthorized because the user accessed a new file share

The logins are definitely unauthorized because they occur at 3:00 AM

The logins are definitely legitimate because the user works the night shift
