Title: FBI Paid Carnegie Mellon $1M to Crack User IDs, Claims Tor Post by: HCK on November 18, 2015, 03:00:18 am FBI Paid Carnegie Mellon $1M to Crack User IDs, Claims Tor
The Tor Project last week claimed the FBI paid Carnegie Mellon University $1 million to crack the anonymity of Tor users. The claim appears to have been triggered by a report that said the FBI's arrest of an alleged member of Silk Road 2.0 was based on "information obtained by a 'university-based research institute' that operated its own computers on the anonymous network used by Silk Road 2.0."
