US prosecutors have confirmed that Sam Bankman-Fried (SBF), founder of collapsed crypto exchange platform FTX, has been accessing the internet with a VPN. This is prompting further tightening of his bail terms.
On February 13th, U.S. attorney Danielle Sassoon wrote a letter to Judge Lewis Kaplan, informing the defense counsel that the government had become aware of the defendant’s use of a VPN on two occasions in the past few weeks and expressing concerns about this matter.
Why is using a VPN a concern?
A virtual private network (VPN) is a must-have security tool in this era because of the increased cyber threats. It encrypts the internet connection and routes it through an intermediary server. Another fundamental privacy level is masking the IP address. When you connect to a server, the VPN will assign you a new IP address, making you completely anonymous online.
Besides encryption and changing the IP address, some VPN providers use RAM-only servers, which delete your session data
