Proving that link definitively was harder. Ehmke led an investigation at
ThreatConnect that tried to track down Guccifer from the metadata in his emails. But the trail always ended at the same data center in France. Ehmke eventually uncovered that Guccifer was connecting through an anonymizing service called
Elite VPN, a virtual private networking service that had an exit point in France but was headquartered in Russia.
