I’m just a regular VPN user but I’m in the US exiting in Switzerland. Usually things that show my location and IP address just show Switzerland and/or “unknown” (if it’s smart enough to say “hey, this is a known VPN endpoint.”

If that’s the case with me then I imagine it’s the same with any hacker worth anything. I’m positive they’re using VPNs and/or data centers (which look like VPNs anyway). They probably rent some $5 machines then trash them after some time, so tracking IP addresses isn’t really worth it.
