With so many reports of hacking, isn't it time Companies got together and employed their own force of hackers to track and trace new threats to their system?

Just having a security shield isn't enough..

This is a good idea - in theory. However, many of the "smart" companies have already done similar things. A hacker breaks into their system - the company hires the hacker (if the company was lucky enough to catch them.)
The thing that is being overlooked with this theory is that hackers are feeding on the technology, itself. It's a challenge. The "better" security gets - the smarter hackers get.
There is not now, nor will there EVER be a way to "instantly" track a hacker. They have tried. The problem, again, is that hackers are smarter than that. They can ping their IP address off of so many servers that it becomes a web that must be searched.
Personally, I don't know whether to love them or hate them. It's because of hackers that online security has improved 1000% But, they also make you realize that your information is NEVER safe.

That video is very very very ignorant about cyber hacking.
If you are able to detect a hacker inside your system in a split second, you would just block that connection. Problem solved. You can't just track back to the original source.
There are companies that are paid to hack networks, to try and penetrate servers, to painstakingly analyse source code to find bugs. I know this because I've been employed by one and will be working there from September.

I seem to remember something similar happening with the government.I think it was back in the 80's or early 90's when a whiz kid,sorry don't remember specifics,hacked a Department of Defense network and they somehow tracked him down and he "went away" for about 10 years while working for the government.I actually ran into a guy on Home that claimed to have had a similar experience but when quizzed by a rank novice on computers like myself his "hacking" abilities consisted of guessing ppl's passwords by finding out as much as possible about some1 then trying as many relevant words as possible.I'm not sure if the above is 100% legit but the idea has been around for awhile.

And yes i know it's a Guy Fawkes mask but he was basically a mercenary that really didn't have the convictions of his courage.
