Haha, I bet the attacker thought they were being so clever with the missing letter. They probably thought the employee would never notice. Little did they know, we're all security experts here!

Yeah, I'm pretty sure this is the right answer. Social engineering is all about using psychological tricks to get people to reveal information or do things they shouldn't. Definitely not a brute-force attack or anything like that.

I agree, this is textbook social engineering. The attacker is exploiting the employee's trust and trying to manipulate them into handing over the password. It's a really sneaky tactic.

Hmm, this is definitely a tricky one. The missing letter in the sender's email address is a clear giveaway of a social engineering attempt. The attacker is trying to trick the employee into revealing sensitive information.
