Shouldn’t there be a government agency that tracks these assholes down and makes it so they can never do this ever again?

Sure, just ask nicely for the Russian government to extradite them... Unfortunately bringing these groups to justice is difficult.

There are, but someone with enough skill can hide from agencies like that. The ones getting caught usually have made mistakes leaving/using information that ties to them. If you route your work through a country that won't cooperate with the US/home country, there's not much agencies can do but ask nicely.
