Accountability --- What I'm not clear is, besides all codes, international laws and resolutions, regulators, UN working groups and so on....at the end of the day I rarely hear/read (at least on mainstream media) that cross border cyber criminals were held accountable for some notable cases, for instance the US 2016 elections. Has anyone been sentenced in this case? Maybe it is just me not being well informed!? In several developing countries that also had targeted-attacks on election days, the national investigations led to a dead end (probably no technical or human capacity to investigate such highly technical attacks without larger foreign expert help). The public was only informed that the attacks were done by highly-skilled organized group/s, and the electronic traces pointed to different locations and computers around the globe (In media EastAsian countries were mentioned as regions with skilled, trained experts, where you can "order and pay" for a cyber attack for good price).
