    My strategy for this one is as follows:

    - When searching try and get a target with a weak or very weak defensive score. They are likely new players or poor defenders.
    - Find and hack your target.
    - Use the minute you have to get to the nearest L-Train station (You may not always be near one so bear this in mind).
    - Get as far down the track away from the station as you can. As the hack window narrows the circle moves away from the station and 99% of players will not leave the search zone that you are above.
    - Blackout at night makes this even easier!
    - Be careful to avoid the trains as they can kill you!

    Any suggestions let me know, if you vote negatively, let me know why!

    AdiGrande777The L-Train tip is glorious. Easy way to cheese this achievement. Also just remember after you hack into the target you still have around 40-50 seconds to drive or run further away before you initiate the hack. Use that to your advantage to try get to an L-Train platform or a better hiding spot.

    Since none of the others seemed to note this, you do not get credit for hacking friends like you do with Online Trailing and the Traced achievement.

    It is important to keep in mind that once you find and hack your target, you have 60 seconds to initiate the hacking process. Once you do that, you must remain within that radius until the hacking is complete. That is your chance to find the best place where you can conceal yourself.

    I happened to get on a freeway and begin the hacking there - as shown in the video I posted below. I also posted another video that demonstrates those more pesky scenarios where the player hides on top of a structure - that can present a more tricky situation.
