How they attack
Entry
Using a door opened by partners
Like a crew whose partner unlocks the door first so the main team can walk in later.
Inside
Switching off defenses first
Like a burglar pulling the batteries out of the alarm before getting to work.
Goal
Steal first, then lock up
Like copying the safe's contents, then changing its lock, so there are two threats.
