Focus: computer
The winds of the extranet are constant and ever-changing. You take advantage of that. You may select one topic of choice to either be favored by one sorting algorithm or search engine or to be buried by them. For example: you can make a pet topic of yours the #1 trending topic on Twitcher or you can ensure your last high profile netrun doesn't trend on Googoplex.
Self-Coverup
Vanus 4
Test: Common Lore + Fellowship
TN: 30
Action: Full Action
Keywords: Combo-OK, Fieldcraft, Focus, Somatic, Web
Duration: Three days
Focus: computer
The engineer floods the internet with false information and propaganda about themselves to obscure their identity. This takes two hours to complete and requires a computer. It affects the engineer and up to (Common Lore + Backing) allies. This cypher misleads people looking for the engineer and their targets (police, security, an angry mob, etc.) into diverting their attention. At least two raises on the activation attract public attention and everyone is more concerned with the misinformation you spread than anything you actually did.
Examples of misinformation include pretending to be someone else, doctoring media to present yourself as somewhere else, falsifying your physical condition, falsifying documentation such as awards, etc. Mechanically, this causes a -2k1 penalty to research or investigate the targets.
