In case you haven't noticed, the FBI charges hackers across the world on a frequent basis. And you should fear them regardless of what country you're in if you're going to be messing with American companies. I've worked at companies where the FBI caught our engineers that were offshore stealing IP. The Company didn't have a clue, they are watching anything and everything that concerns American interest and yes there are no jurisdictions/borders stopping them, outside of Russia, Iran and NK ofc.


How does the FBI arrest somebody outside of the US?


extradition


There are a lot of countries that don't have extradition treaties with the US.


Most of the ones where I’d want to live very much have extradition policies with the US [1].

Countries-I'd-not/want-to-live is an odd threat model.


Good luck extraditing Russian or Chinese hackers.
