    It’s not a single tense (would have - past conditional, had to - past modal, have been - pluperfect), it’s a hypothetical past state being caused by a hypothetical past event, but the trick here is that the “past state” is omitted because it’s contextually read. If you were giving full context it’d read: “If it was spitting out sensitive information, it would have had to have been trained on it.”

    Take that, ESL learners!

      “If it was spitting out sensitive information, it would have had to have been trained on it.”

      I can make it even worse, because the first part of this should be in the subjunctive mood. So it should be:

      “If it were spitting out sensitive information, it would have had to have been trained on it.”
