If my hacker is posting video on JackPoint, what skills do I need in order to perform a back trace on the comments? If those comments are threatening, what is my dice pool modifier for reporting them to the Cyber Police? What are the consequences, and will they ever be the same?

You can trace them if they did not hack the log and edit it to remove their traces. If you are successful in tracing them back you will only find the location of the node from which they launched their hack. But they could be anywhere in wireless range of that node. The best way to trace them is to do so while they are online.

Just on here apparently...it's all over Fark and been on at least three headlines this weekend.

I'd be more worried about the cyberpolice anyway...
