    I think they should have been required to do so.

    Did you miss the part where our government can’t even pass a budget, but you’re expecting them to pass laws like this?

    Also, IP spoofing exists and is relatively easy.

      You can’t spoof your IP address because of the TCP handshake. You could proxy your traffic to appear from coming from a different IP address than from the computers making the requests. This would still be identified as suspicious because the proxy IP address would differ from an IP address a user had logged in from before.

      Even if the “hackers” knew every user’s IP address, they would not be able to establish a connection with it appearing from an IP address that didn’t really initiate the traffic.
