internal network and used his modem to dial up the same ISP used by Smith. After his
modem connected, he quickly typed www.masonins.com in his browser to reveal the

Explanation:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Residual_risk
The residual risk is the risk or danger of an action or an event, a method or a (technical)
process that, although being abreast with science, still conceives these dangers, even if all
theoretically possible safety measures would be applied (scientifically conceivable
measures); in other words, the amount of risk left over after natural or inherent risks have
been reduced by risk controls.
· Residual risk = (Inherent risk) – (impact of risk controls)
