Strikeback simply doesn’t belong in private business. It offers no real advantages to most organizations, and it carries serious risks that far outweigh the short-lived satisfaction of revenge. Instead, companies should focus their security strategies on well-implemented, carefully monitored, multi-layer defenses designed to keep cyber criminals from breaching their networks in the first place.
Passive Defense only works for so long. Eventually if you want this to stop then companies and governments are going to go on the offensive. Either position has it’s advantages and disadvantages.
The second for me, seems to be the one more fraught with unintended consequences. Mainly for the Law-abiding user on ‘net’ services.

Ultimately what’s going to happen (what is happening) around the world is gov’t control of the internet under the guise of protecting all the people.
So all the people will have their internet use severally restricted, while the same cyber criminals operate freely.
Smoking, public transportation, large soft drinks, pot, gun control, all use the same gov’t control template that works so well.
