Hack out of your debt
Use your hacking talent to steal and sell information on your company by assembling dangerous hacks to crack secure servers.
Continually upgrade

Build a [spy] network?
To improve your hacking arsenal (among other things), you'll need to build a "network" across Osaka to feed you information, giving you access to new, more powerful components and information.
