Dumpster diving? What is this, the 90s? These days, it's all about SMS phishing. Gotta keep up with the times, people.

Browser exploitation framework? Really? That's like trying to hack the mainframe from Jurassic Park. Executive impersonation is where it's at.

Executive impersonation attack, for sure. That's the classic social engineering move to get remote access.
