No. She was methodical—there was no way she’d messed that up.
Yet the vulnerability was still there, so how else could it be explained?
This time she took screenshots of before and after to prove she fixed it.
Ten days later, she decided to try hacking the hospital again, and again, she was able to do so.
It was a different vulnerability, but it was also one she’d already fixed.
Once more, she dug through her notes to find when she’d performed the work and what week she’d reported it to Liam. She knew she hadn’t messed up, because that particular weakness hadn’t been there last week when she hacked into the system.

“And then you can monitor what they’re doing?”
“Yep.”
“It’s that easy?”
“Yes.”
“And it’s legal?”
“As long as they open your email on their work computer, you have every right to monitor what they’re doing on company equipment.”
“So theoretically, someone could do that to my computer?”
“Theoretically.” She winked at him. “But luckily, you’ve got me to make sure that doesn’t happen.”
