It's every person and company's worst nightmare. You have been hacked. Your identity has been compromised or your data has been stolen. It's one of the worst kind of robberies there is and what's even more troubling is that the police do not have the knowledge or resources to go after hackers. What if you had the knowledge and resources to go after these criminals? This kind of vigilante justice is illegal according to The Computer Fraud and Abuse Act. Should this be changed? That's the great debate that's taking place right online now. Counter hacking is sort of an eye for an eye justice where hackers inflict digital damage upon those that hack them. Brendan Spaar does not think that you should be allowed to hack your hackers just like you shouldn't be allowed to burn down someone's house that wrongs you. Now that's not to say you can't use your resources and knowledge to have the hackers arrested. Why not turn all of the evidence that you are able to collect over to the sherrif deputies so that they don't have to do any work? Then the hackers will go to jail and not be able to hack ever again.
