You're assuming the perpetrator can be identified, the US government gives a shit enough to pursue the matter (unless the victim is someone economically or politically elite, they won't), and the perp is somewhere our government can reach them in terms of extradition.

The most relevant example I can think of would be a CCP hacker forging a search warrant for a US-based political activist. The government would probably care, but good luck identifying some random Chinese Army hacker, much less extraditing them.
