Hi Michael (alan1998)

A dangerous game, this tit for tat, like the "disaster" insecure Blackbox developers
still to fear the revenge from the cybercriminals they did put at danger.

And sometimes security measurements are really long overdue:

Stay safe and secure to-day online and offline,
and don't do anything I would not do either,

Yom tov,

One of the rare instances where I'll agree with "malicious" hacking. It is absolutely dangerous, and both of them *could* be arrested by police. However, it's rather unlikely.

As for the security implications - it's far more likely the attacker won't hit back. Even if they *do* hit back - I think he's learned his lesson about keeping his stuff safe online.

An inhouse ransomeware resiliance course for ransomeware and e-mail planning could help to protect many.
And even the snake oil vendors make coding mistakes and javascript errors, like

Everything is kind of relative in this ongoing cat and mouse game, with sometimes success claimed by the cat,
and other times victory claimed by the mice.
