More paydata for deckers
Time to hack the Gibson

Grid 4.0 is amazing, but I think there needs to be more paydata for deckers to steal and GDAs to protect. My idea is that every corpcit is directed by senior management to set up a node with their work alias gridmail. This node is to be kept private and set up with one thing; a device-ID printout of the character's corporate record and their last burse request form.

I don't have to explain how dangerous this data is in the right hands; so protecting it should be a GDA's day to day and they could coordinate with whom ever else is about to make a big burse to ICE up that node until is cycles out (say after a week or so). There'd also be ways to put out fake intel this way because it would just be the request, not whether or not it was approved so a savvy corpsec could seed a node with data to frame or deceive evil hackers, but at the risk of annoying the Accounting Dept with frivolous burses.

IC call it 'dynamic oversight initiative' or just hit that corpo jargon button until a good name comes up. The biggest challenge I see is that you'd probably need to recycle the device ID after a hack is discovered, or rotate them regularly like the work keys, otherwise one hack is all it would take to have the data in perpetuity.

This exact idea wouldn't actually be that dangerous, as you need to physically scan the device into your gridterm before you can do anything with it, currently. Just knowing the ID isn't enough.
No, the idea would be that the node itself is broadcasting the data like the ones tied to billboards and price lists at cyberdocs.
It seems to me that deckers are now able to get a lot of data, I think there should be a bit of a wait before giving them the potential of being able to gather even more.

I also think it'd end up being much more annoying to deal with than impactful or useful.

Eek. Make reimbursements even harder huh?
I would honestly wait for the dust to settle before adding stuff, the amount of stuff decker seems to be able to do and dig out already is quite insane. It does require physical infiltration with it too - which I love but… Yeah, I do not hate making all this data accessible but stuff like expenses would have to be really hard protected due to their insanely sensitive nature.
