Not how security works (Destiny)

There is actually another possibility, even if less likely: Dr. Shim is the only one who had access to that archive and therefore it greeted anyone as Dr. Shim who entered the proper credentials based on the logical conclusion that it would be Dr. Shim.

This has happened to me a number of times in IT. Someone has a customized greeting for their system. I login as root, and the startup sound is a customized sound intended for their main sysadmin, but I get the greeting because it was set system-wide instead of based on user.
