I am thinking about applying for a patent, If my accounts are not secure when I purchase a patent, Can the technology be accessed and potentially make security issues worse by using the technology against me? If so, are there ways to get help creating a security related patent or does it have to be 100% created by the person applying for the patent?

The question is unclear. Are you asking about purchasing someone else’s patent or inventing something? How do you think owning intellectual property affects your security ?– George White ♦Nov 19 at 16:18

If you want to file your own patent, then I strongly recommend consulting with a patent attorney who will be able to answer your questions without public disclosure.– Eric S ♦Nov 19 at 16:57

To answer one clear aspect of the question - an inventor can have others help with developing their invention. If the other people make a conceptual contribution to something that ends up being claimed they are a co-inventor. Otherwise they are helping with the invention and reduction to practice but are not co-inventors.
Via suitable agreement they can asssign ahead of time any inventorship rights to you. Of course you also need a confidential agreement with them before disclosing your invention.
To answer what might be another part of the question - patents once issued are publicly available no need for any technology to access the information.
