That would be a huge gamble on their part. It would very likely be discovered in a forensic audit of the machines (very likely = essentially impossible that it not be discovered) and when it is they're in even deeper shit.
In many cases the cover up is worse than the crime... Although in this case the crime is about as bad as one could imagine.
If I were them I would plead ignorance and blame (foreign) hackers or some low level nerd "acting alone." Or flee to a non extradition country... Since the penalty for treason is potentially death they actually have quite a few options.
Bro no data would be just as bad as straight cheating in the open strict rules on data storage
what if they change da data in da machine tho
