"If I sprain my ankle

While I'm robbing your place;

If I hurt my knuckles

When I punch you in the face...

I'm gonna sue! Sue! Yeah, that's what I'm gonna do!

Sue! Sue! I might even sue you!"

—Weird Al Yankovic, "I'll Sue Ya"

The better question is will you get killed. Foreign intelligence does not take kindly to interference, nor do well funded criminal enterprises.
Depends.

If the hacker is any good, they'll be using other people's machines. this means that you could be triggering legal fun™

you just better be sure they initially exploited the only vulnerability they found the first time.
