Most hackers operate from countries like Russia or China, as mentioned in the article, and how would you hack them, exactly? All you need to hack a website is a linux notebook and wireless connection, and it doesn't really have to be your own. Every kid knows how to hack a neighbor's wireless. So there is no way to "hack the hackers" or identify them. All you can do is to secure your servers as much as you can, backup and leave the rest to chance. Hacking the hackers…what an idea.
