I thought about this... What would be the outcome here do you think? Ie if this guy didn't report and did decide to mess around for real? Could he have been tracked? Would EA be down for weeks?!

I mean, Kevin Mitnick spent time in jail: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kevin_Mitnick

I wouldn't mess around with this stuff myself.

    Me neither, but would it have been easy to trace him? I mean if he was going to use this for bad, I would assume he would have waited a month or so then done it all via a VPN etc. But point being he _could_ have done this and to be honest for all we know, someone else _has_ been abusing it until it was patched...

      VPN is used to bypass regional restrictions.

      The VPN provider will share information if an active investigation is underway.

        Buy VPS with Monero.

        Deploy image containing Tor router and hidden service onion config.

        Do above as many times as one needs to feel comfortable.

        Use VPSes as proxies intermixed with VPN and Tor legs.

        the VPN provider can try to share whatever information but most reputable providers would have nothing

        You can pay for a VPN using monero or cash and then connect to the VPN from TOR - VPN provider doesn’t need to know anything
