If you are operating from a jurisdiction that's already under heavy sanctions or severed diplomatic relations and extradition is unlikely, the laws of another country don't really matter.
- bush-bby 5y agoI understand that, but I was thinking more in terms of retaliation. The sword cuts both ways. Haven’t the feds been bringing down the hammer on these sorts of groups lately?(by that I mean attacking back)
- photon12 5y agoThere have been some headlines about what you reference but I'm skeptical that work has amounted to anything lasting.
- bush-bby 5y agoThat’s fair, I guess I’m relatively skeptical as well. I’m just surprised it’s still worth the risk for these groups.
- csydas 5y agoYes but equally powerful actors (relatively speaking) are interested in such resources and attacks, and can ensure the same high level of comfort for the attackers, so it's probably a wash. When they always have a safe haven to run to and lay low in a comfortable way without significant losses (that aren't just cost of business), what good is such a slap? In my mind I see it like the same as throwing a beer bottle at a robbers car as they drive away. Even if you hit it, at best it's some scratches or maybe a busted tail light, but they're still gone with your goods.
- mdoms 5y agoI doubt anyone working for such powerful actors are gloating about their breaches on social media.
