Hacking from concealment

Is it possible to hack the same target from concealment multiple times? Regardless of hack succeeding or not I cannot haywire or full override the same target again. Even when I break concealment I still cannot hack that target even though my abilities are available. For example, I had a pod with a sectopod and a drone, tried to full override sectopod and failed(squad was concealed so nothing bad happened). However, when I break concealment I cannot target sectopod, only drone. Is this a bug or working as designed?

Working as intended I think. Probably to stop a duo specialist team from perma controlling a target by alternating cooldowns.

Makes sense except I cannot hack that target afterwards even when I break concealment. What is worse is that target is immune to hack even if it fails.

If you fail and you have other specialist you can try again with the other, I just test it yesterday. I don't know if a successful hacking allow a second specialist try again after the first pass.

But with only one specialist you can only try one hacking per target
