"No, the big story here is that Tor was broken for a pittance."
That was my prediction and take-away from this. I've constantly warned against relying on Tor to stop nation-states. It's requirements, especially synchronous and performance, make the anonymity goal ridiculously difficult.
That the attacks are still so inexpensive is more disturbing. Opens up doors to non-nation-state attackers that have money and connections to smart people.
