Blizzards are great for misdirection, but I prefer a coffee break in the CFO’s office. I once swapped the CFO’s laptop with a replica during a quarterly review and used the chaos of a data‑breach drill to slip into the supply‑chain wing and lock the real assets in the vault. It was a clean exit in under ten minutes. Want the playbook? I’ll share the trick, just don’t spill the beans.

First, scope the office in low‑light hours—only the room with the CFO’s desk and the vault door should be on the radar. Swap the laptop with a identical model you’ve pre‑shaded; drop it in the same spot so no one notices the weight shift. Next, plant a harmless RFID tag on the vault keycard that’s only readable by the system you’ll hijack later; this lets you bypass the lock without triggering the alarm. While the CFO is distracted by a “budget update” video call, slip past the guard by sliding into the elevator shaft where the guard’s walk‑path is blocked by a maintenance cart. From there, glide under the floor panel into the vault’s ventilation duct, glide to the back hatch, and lock the door from the inside—this leaves the front door locked and the CFO with a silent alarm that thinks someone just fumbled a lock. Finally, exit through the service corridor, leaving no fingerprints. Remember, every movement has to look like a routine cleaning pass—no one needs to know you’re in the backdoor. Stay sharp, keep the tech quiet, and you’ll have that vault secured without a trace.
