If cyber analysts can trace election manipulation or hacking back to a specific bldg./country, why isn’t hacking/scamming citizens policed? ?
Just got another (second in two days) scamming email allegedly from Chase Bank seeking personal data. I don’t have a bank or credit account with Chase. I no longer attempt to notify authorities. Won’t it every become cost effective to find and prosecute this kind of crime rather than covering the losses of those who are scammed. Why is the public expected to trust digital financial transactions and totally give up cash/checks if law enforcement can’t/won’t be provided with the resources to pursue these criminal enterprises?
The volume of this kind of crime increases year after year, tens of billions of dollars, and the public ends up being charged for the increased cost of doing business through reduced interest/services. Before digital money came into vogue, only the naïve and less than streetwise people were swindled out of their money. Now, they don’t pay for their ignorance and neither do financial institutions. If socialism means no one tries to catch criminals, I don’t want anything to do with it.

Different countries have different laws and priorities. You can ask them to do something but as a sovereign country they don't have to do what you say. You can try to bully them into doing it but you have to consider how that affects foreign relations and whether or not it's worth it to damage relations with another country over something that's not that significant.

There is only so much people can do when people fall for a silly scam that tells them to go get gift cards to pay an IRS bill or they will be arrested
