If I’ve learned anything about security it’s that once someone has admin access there’s no way your system is clean. It might look that way, but the system is lying to you, and even if you clean that part up there’s backdoors and Trojans just waiting in firmware, boot loaders, network stacks, backups, everything. Like does your system have any “workarounds” or can you wipe everything and redeploy? Guarantee it’s the former. Ok well then how do you know this bespoke thing is what was originally written by that guy five years ago.
