Why would you say that? Per the page you referenced "The FBI also works to
prevent criminals, sexual predators, and others intent on malicious destruction
from using the Internet and on-line services to steal from, defraud, and
otherwise victimize citizens, businesses, and communities." There is a place to
file a complaint with the Internet Crime Complaint Center.

IIRC the type of attack that the original poster described is a federal crime
which would mean the FBI has to take the lead in investigating and prosecuting
it whether or not the origin was in or out of the US.
