This is a third-hand anecdote, but a similar situation happened at my undergrad university while I was there. Allegedly, a disgruntled ex-officer of the cybersecurity club compromised their website and email list, and confessed after being told in an interrogation that they knew the attack originated from Tor, and that he was the only person connected to Tor on campus at the time. This made sense for about five seconds, until I realized that *I* lived on campus then, and I used Tor for plenty of things, but also for chat, which I generally kept always on. So there was no way he was the only Tor user on campus at that time. The moral of the story is, never talk to police other than to say you want a lawyer. -- Sent from Ubuntu
