i should have noted: this is not so unusual after all! seems DITU trying to get their ducks in a row since May 2011 administration efforts to expand CFAA with a modification which “Clarifies that both conspiracy and attempt to commit a computer hacking offense are subject to the same penalties as completed, substantive offenses.” most recently trotted out again this month by Patrick Leahy (D-Vermont). IC doesn't delay until after the bad happens to intervene, why can't FBI have this courtesy? (parallel construction cumbersome!)
