Hi Torusers,

maybe of some interest:

http://www.theregister.co.uk/2016/10/25/judge_orders_fbi_to_reveal_whether_exploits_were_okayed_by_white_house/
"The case is one of several the Feds are pursuing against more than 100 alleged 
users of the child sex abuse material exchange network called the Playpen. The 
prosecutions have become test grounds over investigators' use of hacking tools 
to unmask Tor users – Playpen was hidden in the Tor network and agents injected 
tracking software into Playpen visitors' browsers to identify users.

...

The Playpen investigation also sparked last year's controversy over 
Carnegie-Mellon University's part. It was accused of revealing de-anonymisation 
research to the FBI in 2014, and last November said it wasn't paid for the 
research, but rather, served with a subpoena."

Aloha,
Toruser
