Right. I find this announcement rather alarming as a non-US earth-living human.
1. Foreign nationals, working (?criminally) to exfiltrate information from US companies (or servers in the US) can now be subject to US laws directly?
Isn't this the same as what I saw with the Julian Assange case, where he facilitated his actions while in a foreign country?
It seems there's been a new international law that's been set up that draws a line for any international hacking? But the article doesn't read that way... There no international criminal courts mentioned...
If that's the case, should I start recording all the US ips that try to hack into my servers, and take legal steps to have them arrested and extradited to my country? (What a nightmare!)
2. The ability for doxxing of these individuals by the US despite taking significant steps to hide their tracks indicates a certain level of Pwn-ership of the internet as a whole by the US. How could individuals have been revealed? Is ipv6 enough to de anonymise to individuals machines or is the US able to 'packet watch' across the entire internet?
Edit: better wording of concerns

We live in the 21st century, it's possible to commit crimes in countries you've never visited from halfway across the world. If such people weren't subject to criminal law where they committed their crimes, IT-support scammers, ransomware crooks, and all kinds of other criminals would act with even more impunity than they already do.
