Especially today Christmas Eve day. Our rights to privacy at risk. Tor is the target.
First, FBI was able to obtain some user IP addresses from Tor. This uses open source Metasploit from a security researcher Moore. See below

This in fact earned Moore a warning from law enforcement thus discouraging security researchers from performing their work. See below

And if this wasn't enough an report shows the NSA keeps track on who looks up Tor and visits website. Kinda like Santa Claus watching who's naughty or nice. See below

Wot are your thoughts on this everybody??
