On Oct. 6, the U.S. Department of Justice announced that it arrested Ryan Lin, 24, for directing a lengthy cyberstalking campaign against his former roommate, her family, and friendsCourt documents reveal that Lin attempted to shroud himself in secrecy, using a Virtual Private Network (or VPN) and anonymous texting services to stay untraceable. Lin's vigilant efforts, however, failed.
