  The no-logging VPN was a dead-ended according to the article. His 'sin' was that all of the RATs were connecting back to him directly (via the no-ip dynamic DNS).

    Malware was connecting back to an ip, at a household with multiple people. It's hard to arrest an ip. The logs at his university confirmed that he and not anyone else at his household connected to VPN.

      Once they had it traced to his household, it was pretty much game over though. Even if they didn't have technical means to determine which family member was using it, I'm sure they could find others. Using just the information that he used VPN Product A, and the extortionist used VPN Product A doesn't mean anything without other information, and they wouldn't have even found the information that he connected to VPN Product A without having a reason to look into him specifically (vs. any other customer of VPN Product A).

  A VPN with no logs will certainly protect you, because there is no way to (logically) connect the machines that connect in to the VPN to activity coming out from the VPN.

  >logs show kid connected to vpn and show vpn connected to victim That only works if you know who the kid is to start with.
