This kind of charging of specific foreign military or intelligence personnel for hacking US institutions is somewhat controversial in the US intelligence community [1].

Their worry is that foreign countries will eventually retaliate by charging people who are involved in US government programs to hack those foreign countries.

Another worry is that indicting people might give away information information about your sources and methods.
