Are they protecting someone? That reminds me, has B.J. Clinton visited the island of underage girls lately?

Interesting, figured Tor was breakable given enough resources.

Sources and Methods, bummer.

My guess is they’ll still end up getting him in the future.

It may be that divulging it would reveal some of the, er, occupants.

Wjo is running that show, Obama holdovers or Sessions’ people? Sounds fishy.

this is horse$hit
They should take it into chambers with just the attorneys and first prove that it is a national security requirement THEN allow the data if it was not obtained illegally

Just another reason I think AB was “taken out”.
Of course, I’m a proud member of Nully’s tinfoil crowd.
But I still think AB was “taken out”.

The site was located on the Tor network which many people use to browse the web anonymously. It conceals their location and identity by routing their connections through a chain of different computers and encrypting data in the process. Yeah Right. If these fools thought they could browse anonymously, then I have a certain bridge to sell them.

More likely they are protecting their hack method. If they reveal it, the vulnerability will either be fixed or people will know that Tor is fully compromised and stop using it, thus depriving the agencies of a useful source of info.

In an unrelated thread last week it was discussed that they couldn’t prosecute you for browsing. Only if you down-loaded or up-loaded the photos.
To: Titus-Maximus
Sure seems like it, but we new a couple years ago TOR was compromised, see Silk Road Prosecutions.

They are just protecting how they ran the crack (hack). Sources and methods are frequently more valuable than any one particular case.
It is unfortunate, but it is reality.

The way I understand it, it’s like trying to track a suspect through a packed mall. Hard to follow on foot. If you cover all the exits, or enough of them, thougb eventually you’ll nab him.

Well there you go: ignore the children who are victims of abuse to help protect some sleaze.

Seems they screwed the pooch on this no matter what. At the very least, the bad guys have now been put on notice that Tor isn't secure.
