Law enforcement agencies, Tor Network and cybercrime
De-Anonymization of the Tor Network users is also a goal for law enforcement agencies that need to track users in order to identify and prevent illicit activities. The FBI last year revealed that experts at the Bureau had compromised the Freedom Hosting company during an investigation of child pornography. Freedom Hosting was probably the most popular Tor hidden service operator company. The FBI exploited a malicious script that takes advantage of a Firefox Zero-day to identify some users of the Tor anonymity network. In an Irish court, the FBI Supervisory Special Agent Brooke Donahue revealed that the FBI had control of the Freedom Hosting company to investigate on child pornography activities. Freedom Hosting was considered by US law enforcement to be the largest child porn facilitator on the planet.Source: Hacking Tor and Online Anonymity
