An attacker managed to obtain the online banking credentials of a customer named Thor Odinson of Cayman Bank. The attacker also possesses Thor's bank card and PIN number. The attacker thought of a devious plan to transfer money from other bank accounts into Thor's account and then withdraw the money from an ATM machine. After some searching, the attacker stumbled upon a large dataset that contains, among others, emails, mailing addresses, account numbers, and account holder names of various banks. There are no usernames or passwords in the dataset. Note that Cayman Bank online banking servers have been updated with the latest security patches. How do you think the attacker initially obtained the credentials of Thor Odinson? Explain one possible way performed by the attacker.
