Alice received an email prompting her to log into a website that looked exactly like her company's webmail service. After entering her credentials, she realized the website was a fake. The attacker can now perform a credential replay attack with the captured information.
The statement is true because once an attacker has captured valid credentials through a phishing attack or a similar method, they can reuse those credentials to access the system that recognizes them. In Alice's case, she entered her legitimate credentials into a fake website, which the attacker can now use in a credential replay attack to gain unauthorized access to her company's services.
