The truth is the "implant" is Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio and was installed on the Antrim County EMS server. The EMS software uses Microsoft SQL server as its database. However this particular part of the Microsoft SQL server package, the Management Studio, is not certified as part of EMS software product.

Thanks for the explanation. Is there any evidence that Management Studio can be or could be run remotely?

Thanks for the info.

Trying to analyse every single line of code, or what is certified or what isn’t, including the operating system, on any Microsoft system, I should think is an impossible task (even they no longer understand how some of it works).

Of course, if you have the necessary admin access rights and the physical access, either hands-on or remote access - whether that be wired or wireless (and these days wireless connections can be something concealed within a chip on a circuit board) - then any data can me manipulated.
Whether that manipulation can be detected depends on what audit trail the original software creates. That’s what the investigators need to validate against.

The best way of course is to use bits of paper and a dab of blue dye on your finger as you vote; but that would be sexist or something.
