This scenario which may or may not happen does not involve Jim what so ever of his admins. If this scenario is the one that has played out, by 2023 ish give or take is when anyone could say "omg the kun was hacked". Log4J operates different than most hacks. It is like an instant zombification process. It infects code and is rewritten to do whatever the codes life cycle entails.
Thousands of bots slamming randomzed passwords finally isolate it. Log4J deployed to gather all data and leave.
6 months of watching salt rotations and sifting data could narrow down the possibilities in this time frame.
It's a hypothetical that does not involve Jim or his admins.
