The poor RMT's...

The use of keyloggers and other means to gain unauthorized access to someones computer is a criminal offense in most countries and could theoretically result in jail time. Unfortunately the investigation and enforcement of these laws is a very low priority where individual users are concerned. The only way anything can be done is if companies work in conjunction with Law Enforcement. I have not heard of this being done yet.

Anonymous PSN Hackers were jailed. International agencies worked together to arrest them in different countries.

I probably didn't make myself clear enough. The incident you are referring to was a mass hack of all accounts on the Play Station Network and as such received immediate attention. What I am referring to is individual game accounts being hacked so that they can be used for various RMT activities. Law Enforcement will not expend the resources needed to investigate each occurrence. The only way is for the gaming companies to gather as much information (including IP Addresses) as they can concerning these accounts and forward it to Law Enforcement in the hopes that action can be taken. I am not sure that the companies want to devote the time end energy to do that so they just handle it in game.
