[tor-talk] Tor users are not anonymous

[sigi <tornode@xxxxxxxx>]

Hi, 

two main german technology news sites are spreading news about the 
study: »Users Get Routed: Traffic Correlation on Tor by Realistic 
Adversaries« [1]

They write about 'broken anonymity' for Tor-users: 
Tor-Nutzer surfen nicht anonym - Tor users do not surf anonymously 
<http://www.golem.de/news/anonymisierung-tor-nutzer-surfen-nicht-anonym-1309-101417.html>

Tor-Benutzer leicht zu enttarnen - Tor users to easily expose
<http://www.heise.de/security/meldung/Tor-Benutzer-leicht-zu-enttarnen-1949449.html>

The articles are german-only - The main point was always stated by the 
Tor-devs [2], that anonymity »fails when the attacker can see both ends 
of the communications channel« - can anyone out there assess how 
serious or new this really is?

Regards, 
sigi
