The easiest way to connect a person to a Bitcoin wallet, is by just looking whether said person has ever shared his wallet address online.
Then you just connect whatever profile to a physical person. It's easy if people just use the same username for everything or if they reveal an email address.

Governments can also subpoena exchanges to hand over user data. Maybe they don't even have to issue an actual subpoena, not sure about that.
They just follow the transactions to an exchange.

I'd really recommend reading through this:

Feel free to correct any mistakes I might have made.

Almost everything is online, almost everything is on the internet, that's why almost everything is very easy to compromise even if its secured or not. The most reason why is for financial crime such as stealing info and money from an account. One example is through forms when you fill up a form, others demand a lot of information to be filled up, and some of this forms were use on bad acts such as cyber crime. Beware and alert everytime!
