Tony Mcguire · Answer 1

Junior analyst's description isn't right.

Explanation:

"carelessness with laptops" isn't the correct description for the mistake or error, and looks like some physical event occurred like laptop computer getting damaged, because of the error, rather than software virus infection.

A more accurate description would be "not being careful enough while surfing the internet and visiting websites".
