How to Stop Overheating
Shoot or disarm nearby cameras or get away before the overheating bar fills. Alternatively, if you know who is hacking you, killing them should do the trick! Doing any of these aforementioned steps will stop the hack from completing and keep your HP intact. One way to combat this is to unlock the Counter-A-Hack perk. Located in the Intelligence skill tree, Counter-A-Hack is a level 9 perk that reveals when you're the target of an enemy netrunner, and are now able to counter quickhack them through walls and obstacle.
