So then why is there a cyber command and a cyber group part of homeland security charged with protection of critical infrastructure if critical infrastructure is the responsibility of USSS? Looks like we have too many keystone cops (the AF advertises an operational Cyber Command with nothing really there) who might fall over one another not to mention get in the way of the owners of the infrastructure who probably know it better than the feds.

I would say the attack falls under the jurisdiction of the US secret service since this is an attack on the financial system.

I know that the folks involved on the MC side already have this data, and that the fbi is interested in it.
