[Crypto-chi] our crypto under attack. again

[joe fuentes]

Hello all,
For those of us who use Tor, this is particularly disconcerting.  Tor yet once again is under attack.  It appears some exploits demonstrated by researchers at MIT are possibly being put to use against dark web market, Agora. Whilst I certainly don't condone some of the shadier uses of Tor, I look at this as yet more chinks in our armour and am perturbed in a more general sense.  For all the bone chilling details read below.
FYI
-Joe
