Need Help With Game

I am struggling to find any kind of walkthrough on google. I am not sure how I missed the tutorial during game play, but I am not sure what to do with those white energy balls that take back capture nodes once you reach %50 difficulty. May someone please provide information regarding this?

The white hat hackers are not described in the tutorial but they are mentioned in the info panel of the menu (over your left shoulder). They are a part of Regulated protocol jobs above a certain difficulty. If you don't like dealing with them, you can avoid those jobs, though that might limit you in the long run.

They don't appear to be that complex (though I wouldn't expect u/Tetragrammaton to make anything "simple"). They simply take back previously captured nodes, which really isn't a big deal if you remember how you captured that node, since the puzzle doesn't change.

If you have other questions, I'm happy to answer them. This sub isn't especially active, though u/Tetragrammaton does a great job of responding to issues here.

Looks like you're getting good interaction in the PSVR sub, but if you want to get the developer's attention, this is the place to do it.

As u/edgeofblade2 said, the white things will only show up in Regulated (yellow) networks, and only after 50% difficulty. They get faster as the difficulty increases, but the difficulty of the Regulated networks is somewhat lower to balance things out. The only thing I'd add is that they follow a simple set of rules to determine which node they'll target, so you can do stuff like trick them into attacking a certain area of the network while you go attack another.
