Unlike today, the government is more likely to protect civil files like that, as it could prove rather revealing to see what taxes are being paid - or what companies are buying up properties around the city. In fact, most government databases are heavily encrypted and firewalled to keep even the most advanced of hackers out - as they're far more experienced in dealing with them (and some of the more notorious ones are now on payroll). We mostly wanted clarification to see what she's trying!
That's not to say that she couldn't approach some smaller ventures to get more experience overcoming the encryption and firewalls in this world, leveling up all the while.
There will definitely be future opportunities for hacking in game!
