Wait, are they really paying dividends annually? That's impressive!

A and D could work too, but I lean towards B for sure.

Not so sure about C, isn't it risky to use cash flows?

I think I've got a handle on this. A and C seem like the most straightforward ones to me. I'll double-check my work, but I'm feeling pretty confident about those two.

Interesting, I didn't consider checking the CloudTrail log. That could provide some valuable insights into what might have caused the issue in the first place. I'll keep that in mind as a potential next step.

Hmm, I'm not totally sure about this one. I know dictionary-based attacks are used to crack simple passwords, but I'm not 100% certain that's the right answer here.

I'm a bit stumped on this one. The options don't seem super clear to me. I'll have to review my notes on NAT and its extensions before I can make a confident guess.
