I'm 99% sure the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act covers this. The problem is that it seems that none of the victims want to, or are brave enough, to sue a company with absurd amounts of funding. | ||||||||

It shouldn't actually take that much bravery. If your case isn't completely frivolous, isn't your maximum loss limited to the court filing fees and a lawyer payment that you know in advance and can decide when to stop paying? It's not the same as getting sued. | ||||||||

If it's covered by criminal law they don't need to sue. They can call the FBI. | ||||||||

Uh huh. It can’t be a coincidence that all the targets have been tech services that are likely to engage with them after the fact. Had this gone after a bank or a government agency someone would be going to jail. | ||||||||
