Cybersecurity experts say the idea of launching counterattacks against cybercriminals is not a new one. The idea of striking back against attackers has shifted from the realm of lighthearted fantasy to potentially disturbing reality. The biggest issue with strikeback is that the Internet provides anonymity, making it hard to know who’s really behind an attack, and a strikeback measure could impact an innocent victim. Most strikeback strategies don’t belong in most private organizations, and direct strikeback measures have inherent risk associated with them.”]
