Only thing you can do is take screenshots and report people the best you can.

Since you can't damage their ship and you're going to lose yours, log off. At least they don't get the satisfaction of sinking it.

As for ship boarding, the hackers can be stopped simply by not going public and only sailing with people you trust. But, this of course RUINS the social aspect of the game - something these 14-year old scum bags seem to revel in.
