DOGE: What's One of the First Things Hackers Do? Install Backdoor Access Points [View all]

I'm sure that whatever those DOGE hackers are doing, installing backdoors is one of them.

They are under pressure to obtain data, but if they are blocked, they will need backdoors into the computer systems to gain access to continue the pilfering. Granted, they have all the passwords of the users, or reset them to something they know--so those are all compromised. But, if the network was shutdown and all of the passwords reset, once the system is re-enabled, they would need ways to enter undetected.

One of the problems with backdoors, it that eventually other hackers or nation state actors find out about them.
