The title is a bit misleading. It is the U.S. Department of Justice that is promising to give the prosecution of these hacks a similar priority to terrorism. Not the entire United States government. Please keep this in mind before speculating about military actions or SEC regulation or new lays being passed or the intelligence community getting involved. This is about DoJ priorities.
- owenmarshall 5y ago“Relax, it’s only the Department of Justice” is not exactly reassuring. USAs have a 99+% conviction rate for a reason.
- Semiapies 5y agoYes, just DOJ. So not drone strikes, but undercover FBI agents spending months trying to cajole and harass coders into writing ransomware so that they can bust them.
