>Virtual private network provider PureVPN helped the FBI track down an Internet stalker, by combing its logs to reveal his IP address.
>The Department of Justice announced on Friday the arrest of Ryan Lin, a 24-year-old from Newtown, Massachusetts, on charges that he cyber-stalked a former room-mate.
