Most hackers don’t. They’re too easy to break the anonymization and there are better ways to anonymize your connection. It’s like a Honda Civic driver using high test gas to “soup up” his car, and asking which gas Indianapolis 500 drivers use to soup up theirs. They don’t soup them up that way. Serious hackers know that any connection can be traced, so they just make it so much work to trace them that it’s not worth it. If you had to trace through 500 different IP addresses to find me, and all those addresses changed once every second, it would cost you a large fortune to track me - and I’m just not worth it. But with this little $500 desktop, I can anonymize myself in about 10 seconds (I downloaded what I’d need a long time ago). But I don’t need to - I even use my real name here, and anyone following my posts for a while knows where I live, so all you need to find me is Google. (If you never speed, and the cops are honest, you’ll never get a speeding ticket, so you don’t need a RADAR jammer.)
