Is it criminal to reach out and hack an infected machine that's attacking your network?

Machine A looks like it is attacking Machine B.

The Admin of Machine B attacks Machine A to take it offline, in order to "Defend itself."

Machine B loses Internet connectivity because Machine C spoofed traffic (very easy to do) in order to appear to come from Machine B's Primary DNS, or CEO's Desktop, or Accounts Payable.

Admin of Machine B loses job (or goes to jail) while Machine C's root laughs out loud...
