If the hack comes from a jurisdiction without extradition, how will you solve that? How foea a country know they are not allowing their citizens to be harrassed with trumped up charges?

- joe_the_user 5y agoSaying the increased effort by law enforcement is “useless” is unfounded. Note you are misquoting me: my comment: *"..."treating this like terrorism" is useless" The right sort of the law enforcement action might be useful. But "treating this like terrorism" is just escalating penalties, threats and so-forth, which doesn't make sense for a very conventional property crime.

In fact, the crime is the "day job" and training of people who participate in the whole "cyber war" thing during international shenanigans. (See South Korea, Georgia, Estonia, and the Ukraine.)
