This question is giving me flashbacks to that time I accidentally locked myself in the CEO's office. Good times, good times.

B) Malicious linking, definitely. The attacker probably used some kind of phishing or social engineering trick to get the CEO to click on a nasty link. Classic move, if you ask me.

A) Pivoting, for sure! The attacker used the CEO's office as a jumping-off point to conduct further attacks. It's like a fancy game of hopscotch, but with more hacking involved.

B) Malicious linking sounds like it could be the right answer. Maybe the attacker used some sort of malicious link to gain access to the CEO's credentials.

Hmm, this is a tough one. I'm leaning towards D) Keylogging, since the attacker was able to access the CEO's credentials. But the lack of any traces or logs is throwing me off a bit.

B) Malicious linking could be the answer. The attacker may have used external resources to gain access to the CEO's office.

I think C) Whaling could also be a possibility. The attacker targeted a high-level executive like the CEO.

But the attacker used the CEO's credentials, which is more related to Whaling.

Wow, this is a tricky one! The attacker seems to have pulled off a pretty sophisticated attack. I'm gonna go with C) Whaling - that sounds like the most fitting description of what happened here.
