We'll assume it takes some time to figure this stuff out (re: the flags and the fact that someone has already been trying to cover for agents) and run with it for an IC week or two, probably!
Going forward, they'll invest some time into trying to crack the encryption. They'll be doing it more to figure out who wrote it than anything - it's helping MS agents so they won't want to mess it up/draw attention to it. Is it possible for them to crack one layer of the encryption, then hit some kind of alarm that kicks them out? Would that impact their chances of identifying the hacker?
And re: identifying the hacker, I'm assuming their two main approaches would be: straightforward hacker stuff, trying to find real info/trace it back somewhere and/or they could focus on stuff like: identifying flavor/signature things in the code, and pursuing social connections w/hacker circles to dig up info that way.
ALSO related to some other plot stuff! Just to be clear, since Peggy and Fitz are teaming up with Morningstar - would there be any info about a hacker officially working with MS that lines up with what Johnny and Daisy find, or is it a Mystery TM?
