exfiltrated
Secretly removed data
Exfiltrated is the past tense of exfiltrate, meaning to smuggle out—typically data, personnel, or intelligence from hostile or restricted territory.
In military and espionage contexts, operatives are exfiltrated from enemy zones: The agent was exfiltrated through a safe house in Vienna.
In cybersecurity, data is exfiltrated when stolen from a network: Hackers exfiltrated millions of customer records before anyone noticed.
