Sure it might be boring to find out any specific hack is China or Russia, etc... but where that becomes important is the fact that whatever secrets that get stolen, the country does in fact matter. Think of it this way - if the government of the country you live in places a bounty of say ($2000 USD or that country's equivalent) for each top secret document - it both places a high value target on us, as well as revealing the things that they DONT know. I mean, specifically do you know of the latest in Fort Knox's security protocols? Do you know the latest in high powered microwave weapons that we're developing (and how to make them)?
These are things we really don't want additional countries knowing how to make.
