I bet Morris was sitting there, rubbing his hands together, thinking 'Time to hack the Presentation layer! Is that a window or a door?'

I believe Morris targeted the Business layer because that's where the application's business logic is implemented.

I agree with Kindra. The Presentation layer is responsible for handling user interface and input validation.
