Why on Earth would he use hma when tor is readily available and far better at hiding your nefarious deeds? At the very least, if you live in the US, use an extranational vpn. Take some of those "hacking" skills and use your neighbour's wifi, wiping the logs after each session. For the FBI to have an IP address that leads back to you means you're incompetent.
The lack of technological sophistication from these guys just further highlights the negligence on the part of the victims. If someone who knows this little about security can infiltrate your network and steal your secrets, then you have serious problems.
"According to HideMyAss.com, “…services such as ours do not exist to hide people from illegal activity. We will cooperate with law enforcement agencies if it has become evident that your account has been used for illegal activities.”
The service stores logs for 30-days when it comes to Website proxy services, and they store the connecting IP address, as well as time stamps for those using the VPN offerings."
