Law Enforcement --- You have a point there. Indeed prosecution is rare. IN all the cases we did the active crisis management, not one of them was prosecuted. CBMs are anyhow not a tool of deterrence, it is simply a foreign office tool to make nations feel better. Responsible state behaviour does not interest criminals and rouge states. There have to be tougher laws with punitive action otherwise cyber space remains a lawless space and a playing field for criminals. Ultimately, this is a political quesiton to enable a state to take a tougher stance towards cyber crime. NObody really wants to go against Russia or China. The important question to ask here is why do so many criminal act and groupd come from Russia?
