Other factors *may* help identify the user. For example, if they were using
university equipment to make the connection netflow data may be helpful. We
have occasionally been able to identify users who attempted to hide their
identities through that sort of correlation.

Subject: [SECURITY] Gmail account owners?



Does anyone know of a way to determine the user of a gmail account?  My
university is challenged by someone hiding behind a seemingly anonymous
account.  Contact me off list at r.witmer () snhu edu if desired.

Thanks in advance.
