In addition, the closer their Scan is to your Cloak, the less of a chance you have to hack them.
Their level of cloak affects how likely they are to counterhack you.
Scan levels (apparently?) affect how much research you hack (and maybe increase chances of a critical?).
The higher your cloak the more likly you are to be able to hack someone, yes.
Your scan strength determines how much - if any - reseach you get. If your scan is drastically higher than tnere cloak, you get more.
The chance of a citical is just that, its not measured by scan / cloak disparity.
