Security Firm Spokesperson: We have installed a very secure access system for our firms' computer network, so your data will be safe with us. Our computers can be accessed only from our headquarters, and access to the network requires multiple biometric signatures that even the most skilled hacker cannot duplicate.
Hacker: Every computer security system that has publicly claimed to be impenetrable has eventually been compromised. Once the challenge has been put forth publicly, it is only a matter of time before someone gains unauthorized access to the system.
Consider each of the following statements. Choose the statement that is most strongly supported by the Security Firm Spokesperson's statements and the statement that is most strongly supported by the Hacker's statements.

| Spokesperson | Hacker | |
| A hacker will eventually gain access by taking advantage of a human error in the management of the system. | ||
| A hacker cannot penetrate the security system by copying an employee's fingerprints and other biometric signatures. | ||
| Every security system will eventually be comprised by a hacker. | ||
| The multiple biometric signatures required to access the system make the system prohibitively expensive for most of the Security Firm's clients. | ||
| Given enough time, the Security Firm's network will be accessed without authorization. | ||
| The security software cannot be penetrated using any current method of hacking. |
