What is a potential consequence of malware exploiting a device vulnerability?

The device automatically updates

The device becomes faster

The user gains administrative access

An adversary can impersonate a user or destroy data

1

What determines the level of risk associated with a device vulnerability?

The brand of the device

The criticality of the device and the data or services it handles
