It would be great if everything in the game can be hacked, but the damage kept low so that it does not unbalance the game.
Tech shop hacks:
(lower lvl) "A friend of a friend has supplied you with the daily access codes to the Tech Shop's online backup system. Grab a copy of the current 2nd hand sales data. Although you won't be able to actually change any of the orders or prices, you will be able to figure out who is using the Tech Shop to resell old hardware."
-> result of this mission is a mail that details all player-owned items that are being sold in the Tech Shop.
(higher lvl, hard mission (lots of objectives)
"You have arranged a back door into the Tech Shop owner's home entertainment center. With some skill this will get you on the owner's private PC and from there via the VPN to the shops ordering system. Unleash a virus and cancel all hardware resales."
-> result of this mission is that all player owned items sales are canceled. Players will need to re-post their hardware.
The last mission might actually be too annoying. Perhaps just kicking a single sale would be better. Ideally there would be a Tech Shop website (just like the OSA site) for which you get a password, and allow you to kick a specific sale from a named player. But that would require more programming effort.
