Should this fall under the original brief of the NSA? (Ironic, I know). I realize that FBI traditionally does "domestic" and CIA "foreign" -- but I seem to recall NSA has something about "cybersecurity threats" or some such nebulus thing in their mission statement?

No. The FBI handles cybercrime. The NSA is under the DoD.
But this isn't (just) cybercrime. This could be seen as weakening the ("cyber"-)infrastructure. But maybe that's just under "Homeland Security" now (of which FBI is a part?)?
