Short term you’re probably right, but longer term is the realm where nation states will start to police the avenues of attack.

This is what will lead to govt needing to attach an actual ID your network connection.

I think it’s a bit like frontier development (like the US “Wild West”). You rob a bank because there’s no one to stop you, and even if you do get identified you can travel enough distance to regain anonymity. Application of legal recourse eventually caught up (as it will here), and the growing pains will certainly make things suck for all of us.

Even in China you can find a way out and build a tunnel. And once you built a tunnel to any outside server, you can jump into another server. So three jurisdictions and your target is fourth. Imagine untangling the links. Police won't do that. Not for some small-sized business anyway. I don't see how you can prevent something like that.
