My issue with saying this is you’re implying/admitting that LE doesn’t really try until it affects them: “The ShinyHunters ransomware group appears to be actively trying to put a target on their back,” Cynthia Kaiser, senior vice president at Halcyon’s ransomware research center, told CyberScoop.

Damn, almost like it's impossible to use cyber as a means of signaling because its plausible deniability means mixed effects (both psychological and actual) on the adversary and cyber is better suited to espionage or operations enabling more effective kinetic strikes.
