- If a card effect specifies that the Runner trashes a card, then it triggers Hostile Infrastructure. If a card effect specifies that the Corporation trashes a card, then it does not trigger Hostile Infrastructure. If a card does not specify who trashes a card, then the player who owns the card is responsible for the trashing.[1]:Ruling

- ↑ Trash Effect Ownership RulingI am curious about which of these scenarios would be considered the Runner trashing a card:
Scenario 1:
The Runner has installed a Parasite onto a piece of ice, and the ice is eventually reduced to 0 strength, resulting in Parasite's effect trashing it.Scenario 2:
The Runner ID of choice is Noise ("Whenever you install a virus program, the Corp trashes the top card of R&D"). The Runner plays a virus, causing the top card of R&D to be trashed.Scenario 3:
The Runner plays Forged Activation Orders on an ice that the Corp could legally rez, but the Corp player declines to rez it, trashing it instead.Scenario 4:
The Runner plays Forged Activation Orders on an ice that the Corp cannot legally rez, thus forcing the Corp to elect to trash it.
Normally I do not answer rules questions before a card is released, but I will make an exception for draft cards.1. The Runner’s card trashed the ice, so Hostile Infrastructure triggers.
2, 3 and 4. The Corp is the one trashing the card, so Hostile Infrastructure does not trigger.
