Oh, I see. I agree. No one's going to be able to actually hack the neural net (as I am convinced she is). That's a a very complicated bit of technology very divorced from ordinary programming, not to mention probably classified. Very few people would have any idea how to begin doing so. Of course, just because her mind isn't hackable doesn't mean other aspects of her aren't. For instance, her sensory gear is probably just a development of existing equipment, and therefore the transduction between sensor and neural net may have vulnerabilities. Likewise, while she has complete control over her body, there'd be another layer to coordinate everthing. Also her targeting system and C3 integration is probably conventional. She may even have a conventional onboard AI, for monitoring purposes. All of those have some degree of vulnerability, though most of them are isolated, therefore requiring proximity.

I do see a danger of her C3 system being spoofed. Not compelling her to do things, but rather simply ordering her to do questionable things under improperly-obtained but authenticated credentials. She's naive enough that telling her to do something may be enough. Or she might be fed falsified targetting data, like improper IFF tags. Motor interdict is less likely, let alone puppeteering.
