Started data can hack. Suddenly Sansha frigates warped in.  
3 salvos 1000 dmg each and the Sunesis is gone.  
Returned 1 min later to bookmark the shipwreck.  
There were no traces of the data site or my shipwreck.  
The location turned into a Sansha combat site.  
Data miners be warned of treacherous data sites!

in an Astero you can safely get 2 cans from a ghost site, then run away, otherwise avoid any data site of lvl 3 if you are to slow.

your pod wont be attacked by the rats so after death do not warp away and remember to bookmark your shipwreck.  
good luck, fly safer.

I did the entire site in Heron. It is not really about player hacking skills, but luck. Sometimes they spawn 1 minute after warp in, sometimes 3-5 and that allows to hack it all. But if it is just 1 minute, if you hack more than 2 you might find yourself in middle of a hack (that mustn’t be failed) when npcs arrive and then you are fkcked. So If I am in expensive ship I don’t risk more than 2, if in cheap one, then I try to hack it all, if they arrive and I am in middle of hack I eject what I looted so far and try my best to finish and run.

The Ghost site entities should have dissected your brain for being canny. 😁
