"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."
Perhaps our new Board member from CMU can provide more details, e.g. a
copy of the subpoena and their response.
