I'm not super-knowledgable about cybersecurity, but shouldn't simply using TOR make it nearly impossible for the US government to track them down?

If they want to go overkill, they can additionally use a public VPN account purchased using walmart giftcards bought on ebay using a stolen identity and then mailed overseas.

They can also perform the hack using a brand new computer that they never use again afterward.

It just seems to me like the attacker has most of the advantage here if they know what they're doing.
