Criminal charges under CFAA to actual CEOs of actual companies doing this, with long jail terms.
I don't know if I ever recall seeing a CEO go to jail for practically anything, ever. I'm sure there are lots of examples, but at this point in my life I have kind of derived a rule of thumb of "if you want to commit a crime, just disguise it as a legitimate business" based off seeing so many times where CEOs get off scott free .
FWIW, Joseph Nacchio (the CEO of Qwest Communications) went to jail for like a decade for refusing to help the NSA violate FISA circa 2001.

Criminally charging Russian and Chinese does not work. The solution would be to drop these contries off the internet if we want to play hard.
The US cannot even stop NSO to hack the system with spyware and Israel is a political ally.
Most of ML training crawlers hitting my site come from USA. Should we drop USA too?
