On the Internet, attackers have about the same ratio of advantage that defenders do IRL. They absolutely can hack back, because hacking is easy. The real question is if they can even properly attribute to the correct target. Nobody hacks from their home IP. Anyone remember Uplink? You'd make it way easier to avoid getting arrested (which wipes your save) if you proxied through the tutorial machine first and wiped its logs after you were done. Likewise, even the most basic cybercriminals know to hack with machines they've already compromised, so that all the owners of those machines and their ISP's abuse desks spend all their time pointing the finger at each other. |
