Unfortunately that gets wrapped in Geopolitics. I'm sure the cybercrime unit will love to issue sanctions against certain countries but the higher ups will never allow that because they need that country as an ally in the region more than they need to stop cybercrime from that country. Ie. bigger fish to fry.

And is there any country where the "bilateral" cybercrime is more significant than the legitimate bilateral trade? India is notorious for the phone scam centers but it also has a giant legitimate call center business.
