Companies should be lobbying the federal government for protection. Otherwise the government is as complicit as they would be for "looking the other way" while the mafia extorts local businesses. And in this case, that mafia may even be an arm of foreign adversaries, making this ever more urgent and damaging.

I'm sure the government is already feeling pressure. However the criminals are good at hiding their tracks. There is reason to believe they are being protected by Russia (or other country that nobody wants to go to war with).
