It's unlikely Tor can ever be fully secure.
I've always assumed that using Tor would bring attention to oneself in the same way that sending encrypted emails flags attention.
This story only seems to confirm that fact. Why wouldn't it? Given the Government's original involvement in Tor together with Snowden's revelations etc., it's obvious to me that Tor would be carefully monitored by any and every available means.
Frankly, I just don't believe that one's privacy can ever be truly secure on the net whilst source and destination IP addresses exist in their current form—irrespective of what obfuscation system one uses in the middle.
Seems to me that these days only the stupid and the desperate would be sufficiently foolhardy to transmit incriminating data across the net, irrespective of the means by which it is done.
