The concept of "time-traveling hackers" refers not to literal time travel but to a sophisticated cyberattack technique where hackers manipulate a system's internal clock to bypass security measures.

Even when checking an outside master clock, computer software will introduce additional distortions. The operating system typically digests network packets in batches, delaying time packets.
