Spear phishing attack

Explanation:

According to my research on information technology and cyber-security, I can say that based on the information provided within the question Alice wanted to perform a Spear phishing attack. This an email or electronic communications scam targeted towards a specific individual, organization or business, usually intended to steal data for malicious purposes, cybercriminals may also intend to install malware on a targeted user's computer. Although in some cases like this one it is used instead to find those weaknesses/vulnerabilities and design prevention methods like Alice is trying to accomplish.
