Unmasking hidden Tor service users is too easy, say infosec bods

So the NSA know every line of code in the Tor program, indeed some of it might have been their own handy work.

The NSA also knows every node in the system, indeed many of those nodes are kindly supplied by themselves.

The nodes they don't own will no doubt have been targeted with one of their many rootkits and hence is effectively owned by them.

I have never believed any of the hidden, secret, anonymity offering routes into the web to be effective against such a determined player as the NSA or GCHQ for that matter, but for the sake of national security I'll state my preferred hat can also get the best out of a roast chicken, so all you antisocial types carry on regardless.
