These days hacking in reality is getting a user name and password of a high level user hoping noone actively monitors the user log files monitoring activity so they figure out later what happened or using a backdoor installed by someone clicking a small software not recogniced by the Anti-Virus software, because it is not on the softwares list by release date or judge order due to national security. The latter is illegal equaling collective punishment, but its the CIA or BKA, so all fine. Just SS and Collabs in all action and they did worse before...
If national order falls some on the same asshole level as BKA or CIA GUI Hackers will survive and continue Gain of Function research or PsyOps stress test patience tactics until hardware of very different nature travells through their heads. So, the ending stays all the same, but can you enter a Server room to exchange the motherboards main server BIOS chip with one that is connected to your cyberdeck running analytics, search and copy scripts?
Ah, fuck you die before....
