There's an even easier way to spot if you're being invaded. Press ESC and if the world isn't paused. Prepare for trouble.
Applies for Focus too.
You're not really forced to play online, there is a toggle in options to disable people coming into your game.
The part you mentioned where you were forced to hack someone else is actually optional, you can cancel out of it and choose not to do it, that is what I did.
I got annoyed because I haven't been able to find any multiplayer matches, and was only hacked once.
This is the time to play online, if there's no anti-cheat or server checks then cheating will get more and more common.

There is no anti-cheat for the time being, however nobody said they might not add it later, when I invade I disable my options, but when I get invaded, It's full trainer !
So you admit to cheating online.
Oh dear.... you know how I feel about people like that.

So does anyone want explain exactly how the online works?
I know that anyone can hack you at any time? (and it's brilliant fun actually), but it was explained to me that the game is always online.
Is there a setting I can hit to turn off the MP? I've yet to start one of the early missions but I just got to the point where the online stuff's unlocked and that makes me wonder...is the game 100% always online?
If so, my 0.02 on using the trainer is play smart, don't be a **** with unlimited health or ammo. Stuff that doesn't affect other people, like money or reputation's okay to tweak IMO
I don't use options like unlimited stuff, anyway in settings --> online. you can take off invasions, but it will reset your notoriety to 0
