The USA for a start. The USA's law enforcement is never slow at working
with foreign countries law enforcement to secure the arrest of offenders
upsetting the USA - sometimes having them extradited to the US of A for
trial.
More effort must be made tracing the hackers. Hacking is routinely
accepted too often. If a burglar attempts to break into a bank, does law
enforcement forget about it ?

Have absolutely no intention of using it or anything resembling it. The

Port 22 is always blocked, port 21 too, on all machines. Too risky.
Having port 22 open will give me sleepless nights.

Then let them waste their time and energy attempting to crack a
non-existent password.

Agreed. Never ever repeat the same passwords on different machines.
