Other than leaking the contract using the address of the Red Vulture group onto the net, Maximilian also deliberately leaked some false data—fabricated to appear as though the low-skill hackers from the Red Vulture group could realistically uncover it.
The data was fake, but it was carefully designed to be highly believable, based on what Maximilian had uncovered from Rebecca's safe house.
For example, the information about the special dart suggested that whoever kidnapped her had connections to the UEC. The breach of the safe house further implied that someone with access to UEC contributor safe house locations had initiated the abduction.
It was highly likely that the ones who kidnapped her belonged to an independent faction within the UEC.
