The only good news I have for you is that _perhaps_ in that case the FBI and CISA will investigate, because there will be a US resident victim.

IP-based geolocation is garbage but there aren't many Russian/Belarusian-attributed IPs in the US so the intersection of those with people using node-ipc was empty, and the US Government couldn't be pressured to investigate/enforce.

This administration might be D, but the next one might not be. What's the statue of limitations on CFAA?
