No way, it's clearly social engineering.

Wait, are we sure it's not a Trojan horse? Seems a bit off.

I agree with social engineering, but I wonder if there are any nuances in how it's presented in the question.

I'm a bit confused; could it also be considered a phishing attempt? I feel like they overlap sometimes.

I remember practicing a question like this in class, and it was about social engineering too. It makes sense since the manager shouldn't be asking for that info.

I think this is definitely related to social engineering, but I'm not entirely sure if there are other types of attacks that could fit.

I feel pretty confident about this one. The RDS Proxy solution seems like the most straightforward way to address the connection issues without having to make significant changes to the existing application. I'll focus on understanding how RDS Proxy works and why it's the best fit for this scenario.

I think commercial paper has a maturity of less than a year, so I'm not sure if option A is correct.

Hmm, I think I read that blockchain is best for specific use cases like finance and supply chain, not all databases. So, I'm leaning towards "False."
