Can someone please hack the spammers!?!?

I get so tired of filtering spam from my inbox to the GFI anti-spam folders at work!  I see reports from companies that track malware and spammers saying that 80% of the worlds spam is coming from, like, 6 computers (so they know which computers) but why on earth don't they just hack them and shut them down?!?!  This is costing my company thousands of $ each year for anti-spam filtering software and me to spend the time each day to sort it all out.  Spammers are the devil's concubines!!

Here are a couple reports from our email server.  Byesian is the "AI" of the GFI software.  It's supposed to read each email to see if there are spam-type words in there.  Keep in mind there are under 20 employees where I work.

One day's worth.  190 actual emails.  5394 SPAM in one day!

One month's worth.  211,617 SPAM in one month!

You answered the question in your post. Where would all these anti-spam software companies be if it weren't for the spammers out there? Why would they hunt down their money makers???
