As Shayera runs into yet another firewall, she curses under her breath. But that's hardly the first series of expletives to come out of her mouth this evening. She just wants to know who traced her online alias back to her, is that so wrong? It's not that huge of a security breach to her - worst case scenario, she'll have to find a new alias. Which would be an irritation, but not a huge problem - she only really uses it to offer her services as an independent computer programmer over the internet so that she can earn enough money to meet her minimal needs with some degree of anonymity, and while using a new alias would make it harder for her to find work without her reputation for very efficient coding it wouldn't take her that long to build it again under a new name. But whether or not she needs to go to the trouble depends on who it was, which is why she's bothering with all this in the first place.
Though at this point, a part of her just wants to give up because she's halfway certain the next hurdle will lead to something she can't handle rather than what she's looking for. In fact a part of her is almost suspicious that it was Batman - and that he's toying with her. Perhaps he's testing her hacking ability? However, another part of her - a much bigger part of her - tends to kick in whenever things get difficult and drives her to take up the challenge until it's clearly hopeless. So she forges past the firewall, only to finally find the information that she's looking for: the person who had been investigating her was using a computer linked to some company called Black Cat Security. Well, if that's their business it would explain why it was so hard. Still, she has to double check to make sure that this isn't yet another false lead, though this time she can't find any sign of that.
Her next step is to simply see what this company is, then, though when she sees a picture of the owner, there's something that seems familiar about that face. But when would she have seen Selina Kyle? More basic internet searches leads her to gossipy articles about the woman's scandalous relationship with Bruce Wayne, but Shayera knows that's not it - she doesn't pay enough attention to Batman's other life to know the woman from that. However, a connection to Batman, even if it's his day self, combined with the name of the company...
Shayera quickly digs up a very high resolution photo of the woman, then studies the picture more carefully. Hmm, that chin... those lips... To say that Shayera has very good eyesight would be putting it very mildly - she fully lives up to the name the media gave her that way. And along with her sheer ability to see detail, she pays very close attention to it and remembers those details well. Still, even the high resolution photo isn't enough for her to be completely sure - it just doesn't show as much detail as her eyes pick out. And a part of the problem is make-up, which obscures the fine details enough to make it that less sure. Still, either Selina Kyle is Catwoman, or else they happen to have an extremely similar face.
Laying that question aside, she finds the email address for Selina Kyle, and quickly writes a note from her buteo@gmail.com address:

Ms. Kyle - To what do I owe the pleasure of having my identity investigated by your company? I can't say that I completely appreciate that.
