"Problems worthy of attack prove their worth by hitting back"
We need to know the context to explain it properly.
It looks like a article headline. It must refer to some group who have problems or issues that need to be dealt with by the wider community. And the group are reacting adversly -in a hostile manner - to attemps to deal with them.

Can you tell us what or where the quote comes from.

Hi Tom

I think that sentence is open to a variety of interpretations. It would depend very much on the context.

Here's one of my thoughts:
If a problem is very easy to solve, it's not really a problem.
