On: Hackers extorted $1.14M from UCSF

These are acts of war by foreign entities against US citizens, hospitals, and governments. The lack of military response is dumbfounding and unacceptable.

The NSA is recording every byte of data crossing our borders, and also much internal traffic, and they are unable or unwilling to track down these perpetrators?

They're not always state actors, though. Sometimes it's just sociopaths who happen to be really good at compromising systems.

Also, assuming the NSA has a copy of every byte of network data ever sent through the USA, that's a LOT of data. Processing that takes time.
