Haha, the penetration tester must have been like, 'Bingo! This is gonna be a piece of cake.' But hey, kudos for at least trying to encrypt the file, even if it wasn't quite up to snuff. C and D all the way, my friends. Time to tighten up that security.

Alright, alright, looks like we've got a real security nightmare on our hands. I'd say C and D are the way to go, but let's not forget about good old-fashioned password management too. Can't have folks leaving their private keys lying around, you know?

Haha, I bet the penetration tester was like, 'Jackpot!' when they found that file. But seriously, C and D are the best moves here - strengthen that encryption and clean up that shared drive. Can't be too careful with sensitive stuff like that.

Yikes, that openssl command output is not looking too hot. I'd say C and D are definitely the way to go - gotta lock down those private key files and get rid of any unencrypted files. No need to get too fancy with DSA keys or key rotation just yet.
