It's a difficult balance to strike. On the one hand, people who feel sufficiently righteous to decide what the appropriate response is to something like a cyberattack are rarely the people we'd want in that role.
On the other hand, this sort of impromptu duelling adds so much risk to being a bad actor and there are so many benefits to standing up to bullies that I suspect we do want some of this activity.
I suspect the process may be self-correcting. A society that rewards someone for tying up a scam company's phone line will also punish someone for doxxing the wrong target. Perhaps the next decades will see us move from mob justice to crowdsourced justice. I feel it could be done...
