Cyberstalking Suspect Arrested After VPN Providers Shared Logs With the FBI

Ryan Lin, 24, is accused of harassing and cyberstalking an unnamed 24-year-old woman. Lin, a man from Newton, Massachusetts, was arrested on October 5, on charges of cyber stalking. The FBI says Lin used VPNs, Tor, ProtonMail, VPN clients, and Tor to hide his identity. Lin allegedly accessed Jennifer Smith’s Apple iCloud account and her Google Drive account from where he took her private journal. Lin’s abusive behavior was then redirected to the other two roommates, and following complaints to the landlord and police, Lin was kicked out of the shared apartment in August 2016.
