FBI again thwarts Tor to unmask visitors to a Dark Web child sex abuse site

I'm all for privacy & anonymity on the Internet but this is definitely a huge score for the good guys.  Way to go!

From Sophos Naked Security:

FBI again thwarts Tor to unmask visitors to a Dark Web child sex abuse site

The FBI has once again launched its harpoons into the Deep Web, piercing the anonymizing layers of Tor to drag out the identities of two New York men who were indicted earlier this month on charges of possessing child abuse images.

The FBI doesn't reveal how it bypasses Tor to track down the true IP addresses it's designed to obscure.
