News for hackers. Stuff that matters.

I refuse to believe that the FBI is privy to a funamental TOR break that's completely eluded the cryptographic community, and they're risking revealing it with some darknet busts.

If TOR was broken, they'd be encouraging its use while secretly mining it for parallel construction opportunities across the board. Instead, we get warning shots.

TOR is fine, but now that we know that the FBI has its tendrils everywhere perhaps we should be a lot more cautious about trusting people we meet online. At the very least we shouldn't be granting administrator privileges to people we don't know the identities of, which is a mistake some of these operators seemingly made.
