To publicize the fact that these sort of attacks can be tracked. Similar to when they publish information about particularly crafty drug houses they bust: so that people planning on building a drug house think "well, if they got that house, then they'll definitely find out the one I'm planning, so maybe I'd better not."
- boomboomsubban 6y agoThis doesn't demonstrate that these kinds of attacks can be tracked though. If I were planning similar attacks, I'd just acquire a Chinese IP address and assume they'd take the blame.
- mcphage 6y agoThat's true... the FBI probably never considered that possibility.
