How to know if you're being invaded

I understand that this is sorta kinda maybe an exploit. I understand that this may change the game for some people. If this guide really makes people uncomfortable or upset I'll take it down. Sound good? Good.

Simple trick I learned on accident:

If you feel like you're being invaded, pause the game.

If the pause menu comes up but Aiden or anything continues to move in the game behind the menu, you are very likely being invaded.

If you feel like you're being tailed, pull out your profiler (z) and if the civillians have a "Not a threat"
status, you are most likely being tailed.

Also, WTF is a Sadomasochist??

Edit: Oh God, WTF.

Now if I were to be Hacking/Tailing You, I would probabally be behind you... mostly because it's called Tailing...

The idea is... everyone is a sloppy driver. They can make it look nice, but if a target is escaping them, they're gonna drive like hell. Try running away if you feel like you're being invaded or tailed. The Fixer will become sloppy and noticeable.

This does not come into play if the fixer has already initiated the backdoor download.

This is me starting to run:

To make it even more painfully agonizing for your Fixer to hack or tail you, create a few car crashes or block their trail in some way. Trust me, it works. sometimes, at least...

WELL GREAT. YOU'VE GOTTEN THE POLICE ON YOUR TAIL.

Now you have to run. Make sure to swim to Mexico and change your name to (insert steriotypical Hispanic name here).

Now that you've escaped the Police, you're being hacked for real. Find that Fixer!

Now that you've found the fixer, kill them with extreme prejudice!

Well, you screwed up again. Maybe you can listen to some music to calm you down!

Honestly, this guide is more of me wasting time rather than being actually helpful. Thanks for reading and enjoy the view!

Also, I hope I helped a little bit at least!
