Yep. Strip the wire, daisy chain the drive. Have firewire access? Can probably run code with kernel privileges.

Technology can’t solve this problem, it can just be a tool we use. The system shoulda flagged this guy for accessing anywhere near 100k documents IMHO.

99% of hacking has nothing to do with the computers themselves. Most of it has to do with people. Shoulder surfing, IP spoofing, etc. Any way you can convince someone to enter their login information in the wrong place, or get them to just tell you the information. A phone call pretending to be IP. A lingering nosy pizza delivery person.

These are the ways hacking is often done. Fancy mission-impossible style shit is extremely rare.
