But if we can definitively place blame on an extremely hostile and/or bonafide terrorist entity, then, eh, does the field of politics come into play and start to mandate whether or not we pay a ransom for a data hack?
And then what starts to happen? Is it somehow governed that the playing field be leveled and we trade .DAT hacks tit-for-tat, even with our worst enemies?

It doesn't work that way though. For starters the average time before a company realizes it has been hacked is somewheres between 100 and 200 days... Then there's the only issue of escalation. Say a company hacks back but hits the wrong target or unleashes malware against another country.
Candor should probably just DDOS the ever-boundless universes.
