Strategies Against Hacking

Guarding against human intruders is fairly easy. But too often, Internet intruders are invited in. We need strategies to prevent Internet intruders from gaining access to computer in formation.
Each computer should have an ID code with a GPS location so that computers that are accessed by the computer will know where the computer is located. If hackers in Russia are gaining access to American computers, the American computers would first recognize the source of a hack and a guardian device would not allow the hacker to gain access to a computer. If a hacker is in contact with a series of computers, the guardian device would know this and could prevent hacking since a direct one-on-one computer link seems more legitimate. If a hacker is using an uncoded computer, the guardian device would prevent the hack immediately. I know spies in various governments wouldn't like to have their target know they are being spied on. But that might be a regrettable result of unrestricted hacking and the war being waged against hacking.
Another strategy that might be used is "dead end" programs. I made this suggestion over 30 years ago to my bank in New York and it did nothing. If a hacker were to gain access to a computer, the guardian device would allow the hacker to have access to a decoy program. It would seem legitimate to the hacker. But when the hacker downloaded the information into his computer, he would also download a deadly virus that might destroy the intruder's system. Unfortunately, people who aren't hackers but just want access to a computer for legitimate reasons will have their systems destroyed. But if they are honest and the guardian realizes this, the guardian may warn them to prevent damage.
The guardian device would analyze every attempt to access computer information. Decoys would be used and sacrificed to hacks like malware and worms that can wreck systems. Ransomware would access information that is expendable or dummy information. The guardian device would make a link with an intruder and direct computer security agencies to intruding systems for a crackdown. The guardian device might be more expensive than many computers. But if it can prevent hacking, it will be worth the expense. The guardian device would also know if people are pretending they are 1,000 people because if they are from one source computer, the 999 fake people will be known as fake.
Hacking into closed computer systems like voting computers should be impossible. When that happens, will losing political candidates be dumb enough to blame the Russians for losing?
