Another MPA official, Chief Content Protection Officer Larissa Knapp, said the group anticipates "ongoing joint efforts with Vietnamese authorities, US Homeland Security Investigations, and the US Department of Justice International Computer Hacking and Intellectual Property (ICHIP) program to bring the criminal operators to justice."
