exfiltrates
Secretly removes data
Exfiltrates means to smuggle out, especially data or people from a hostile or restricted environment.
In espionage, agents exfiltrate defectors across borders.
In cybersecurity, malware exfiltrates sensitive files to remote servers: The breach exfiltrated customer records over several months.
The opposite of infiltrate—getting out rather than getting in.
