A user on a corporate laptop discovers that their bank account and social media accounts have all been hacked. The user has highly secure passwords and has never accessed the accounts on another device. The user brings their laptop to the company's system administrator for review. What does the system administrator find out about the user’s computer?

They could have their passwords saved somewhere either on their device or the cheeky google “Save password for this website?” cookie. If I had a bit more context (maybe the section this question is coming from, the general topic you’ve been learning that included this question) I could even say they had remote access enabled, allowing someone to enter in their computer remotely to find these passwords.
