========================================================================
Welcome to the fifteenth issue of Tor Weekly News, the weekly newsletter
that covers what's happening in the world of Tor — “king of high-secure,
low-latency anonymity” [1].
[1] http://www.theguardian.com/world/interactive/2013/oct/04/tor-high-secure-internet-anonymity
New tranche of NSA/GCHQ Tor documents released
----------------------------------------------
... a series of stories were published
in the Guardian and the Washington Post that detailed alleged attempts
by NSA, GCHQ, and their allies to defeat or circumvent the protection
that Tor offers its users. ...
The documents in question [3] offer,... a summary of
attacks against Tor users and the network as a whole that they have
considered or carried out.
Logically, if any agency or adversary divulged they can somewhat successfully track users or "infiltrate the system," then most would stop using it and a valuable method to gather information or catch "criminals" would cease to exist. Good poker players and gov'ts NEVER reveal their hands.
I wouldn't take seriously anything that ANY gov't publicly reveals about their technology or intelligence capability (or lack there or). Over a long history, it's been repeatedly shown that advanced gov'ts always know more & have more technology capability, than is revealed. That is, often until decades later, when the real truth comes out. It's no different now.
