Of course it's a narrative. How much do you remember hearing about Russian hackers in the MSM before H2 of 2016? Me personally? Not much at all. Some of the crimes these people were found guilty of or allegedly committed happened over the span of years. It's true that persecution can be slow in such complex cases, however I find it hard to believe that all these bills are coming due right around the same time. I also agree with another poster who responded below RE: Chinese hackers. Both Russian and Chinese hackers appear to be state sponsored (at least in part), however I always got the sense that the identified Chinese attacks were more systemic and set to specifically target US business interests. Wonder when we'll start arresting and extraditing hackers from Unit 61398.
