The most likely cause of the breach, given the context of the options provided, is **a legacy software package was running**.
Older systems often run outdated software that may have known vulnerabilities, and updates or patches may not be available for these legacy systems. Even with strong security practices in place, if a system is running outdated or unsupported software, it can still be susceptible to attacks.
