This is not the case, and the article has been updated to clarify. While broad, FISA-ordered business records requests have become both common and controversial in the intelligence world, a simple court-ordered warrant was more than enough to track down Nunn and Barr.ħ/12 11:22pm: An earlier version of this article stated that a US warrant was used to compel Spotify to divulge Nunn's address in Mexico. For Fourth Amendment purists, the story is also a reminder that old-fashioned warrants are still a perfectly viable way to track down criminals. Without this address, you cannot be tracked. It's a clever tactic and a reminder of how many modern services can quietly give away a user's location. Due to this, an agency would have to contact the VPN provider to give up this address. If the criminal connected to that VPN from another, law enforcement would have to work their way through multiple companies to find the details. From there, federal agents worked with the Mexican consulate on bringing the couple and the abducted children back to the US. Can the police track IP address The authorities can only track an IP address to a VPN company, which they’d then have to force to reveal the real IP address from logs, which might not even exist.
The lead was confirmed by similar records from Netflix, and investigators finally traced a package delivered to Nunn to a Cabo address. According to the company's records, the couple's account had been used by an IP address in Mexico, although the limits of US law prevented a more specific identification. Using an IP address and the exact date and time of a suspicious event, it is feasible to obtain a personal identity of an individual by making a formal request. The fugitive couple was finally located through a search warrant served to Spotify. But Nunn and her husband defied the order, spurring a seven-month manhunt that drew in local, state, and federal investigators alongside private detectives hired by the fathers.
Now, when someone wants to track you, he/she can’t get your real IP address but the one of the VPN server, which BTW can operate with multiple IP addresses. The court had awarded primary custody of the two sisters - six and four years old, respectively - to their biological fathers. By connecting to a VPN server, you get a new IP address that is provided to you by the VPN service (rather than your ISP). The fugitives were Brittany Nunn and her husband Peter Barr, who fled their home in Wellington, Colorado after losing a custody battle over Nunn's two children. That's the lesson from a new case reported in The Coloradoan, which saw one couple's Spotify and Netflix accounts used to track them after they fled to Mexico. If you want to drop off the grid, don't forget to cancel your streaming services.
