How to use "Jack-in-office" in context?
"jack-in-office" refers to a situation in which an individual is able to gain remote access to a targeted computer system, under the assumption that they are using the same login credentials as the targeted user. The individual then has the ability to view, change, or delete data, or even seize control of the system entirely.
