[Note to slybrarian: Remi won't know this with any certainty because it's after his time and he's only been able to examine a single harness up close. But Alaric, in his travels, has probably run into this. Ensuring moth compliance is a major concern of the Nirai, given the stakes, so they've thought of the possibility of virus attack.
This is going to be ~handwave~ because I am not a security engineer or programmer, let alone a security engineer of the grimdark future of dark grimness, just roll with it, but: just as mothdrive signatures are individual (like ~fingerprints), every mothdrive/harness runs on an individualized operating system keyed to that specific moth's physical identity. It's possible to hack a moth, but you'd have to do it one at a time.]
