i seriously doubt that this persons in china. i have a hotspot shield that changes my ip address from where i live to dallas texas. he/she would definetly not want any to trace his/her ip address but probably as a failsafe used an ip address from china or austraila to throw them off his/her trail. he/she is probably someone local. he/she might even be doing this because he/she didn't get accepted in any of these prestigious schools and simply wants to get back at them. thats is usually the case. he/she might also get cocky because he/she thinks they eluded the fbi and they start to make stupid mistakes. happens all the time. this person will get caught soon enough if the media keeps adding hype to the situation. pretty soon our little friend will get a big head and try and do something stupid failing to cover his/her tracks.
Hacker? Use a proxy? You've gotta be kidding... Now they have thought of everything!
I wake up in the morning, wash my face, brush my teeth, and sharpen my tongue.
Preparation is half the battle, its also a butt cream.
