Keyboard Wizards

Cyberjacks are the hackers of the Age of Convergence. While some are talented enough to directly crack into the base recursive loops and alter things directly, these are the living legends of the Cyberjack world. Most of them design special AIs called Interface Memory Proxies, or IMPs to act on their behalf to interact with the recursive-thought loop which allows the Cyberjack and their IMP to double-team an AI, RI, or SI. They also write Synthetic Intelligences known as Enhanced Cognitive Hijack Operations (ECHOs), which interfere with the recursive-loop thinking and impose pre-written parameters. These allow them to take control quickly. Finally, they make and use H.Exe's, an RI logic bomb designed to shred digital minds, sometimes with extra, catastrophic effects such as converting a console into a bomb, igniting electricity from connected light fixtures, or other such devastation and chaos. 

Black and White

Cyberjacks usually work for themeselves, but every cybersecurity team worth anything employs or subcontracts with their own "white hat" Cyberjack or Cyberjack team. These are often "black hat" Cyberjacks in their spare time, and the whole profession is in a constant arms race to top the effectiveness and power of their programs. While only the absolute best (or, depending on one's outlook, worst) Cyberjacks become famous with the general population, there are a number of Cyberjacks that have become true legends, such as 3l1te8ad80y, W1kk1dW1tch, and Turduckenegg-Koschei/Needle.

Intelligence: High-tech spies generally crank up Cryptography, Intelligence Analysis, and Research. Those that spread disinformation often know Propaganda, too.
Law Enforcement: re frequently “reformed” criminals. These routinely ignore physical police skills in favor of Administration, Accounting, and similar cerebral stuff.
Military: Cinematic elite units often include a skinny guy with a rifle and an olive-drab laptop. Everybody else has to bleed and die to get him to some secure objective. His best military skills are more likely to be Forward Observer and Strategy than Guns and Hiking.
Security: An expert in computer security is as likely as one in physical security. Most of the notes for law enforcers apply, but use background skill points to buy even higher levels of Cryptography
