It is hard to say – most attackers are not highly skilled, but their tools are good at concealing identities. They may possibly be caught through a combination of painstaking auditing and cross referencing of log files and someone bragging or squealing on IRC. The FBI press conference on February 9th mentioned possible penalties of up to 5-10 years incarceration. http://abcnews.go.com/sections/tech/DailyNews/yahoo000209.
