Ordinarily I'm very pro-privacy but in this case I don't see how anything was illegal. There was no hacking, other than the Tor exploit, which we've known existed for some time. It's not as if the FBI were portscanning users or installing spyware on their computers.Essentially, they found a way to make Tor spit out the IP address of users who think they're anonymous, and collected the IPs of people going to a website to obtain illegal content. This isn't any stranger than deploying a license plate scanner (capable of seeing through obfuscation) near a known drug hot spot to get a list of possible clients and dealers. |
