During routine monitoring, a cybersecurity analyst discovers repeated attempts to compromise a system using a tool that automates the exploitation of a known vulnerability.

Which type of threat actor is the analyst most likely observing in action?
An organized crime syndicate staging a targeted breach
An unskilled individual leveraging a known exploit with an automated tool
A hacker with advanced skills conducting a complex intrusion
An insider threat exploiting their authorized access
