I really don't like the idea of targeting all Tor users, but as far as I can tell, that's not what this is. For this to work, wouldn't the FBI have to have provided a list of hidden services they were interested in to CMU? Based on Tor's description of the traffic confirmation attack, an encoded version of a specific hidden service has to be injected: https://blog.torproject.org/blog/tor-security-advisory-relay-early-traffic-confirmation-attack/ https://blog.torproject.org/blog/tor-security-advisory-relay...
Isn't it plausible they could have received a warrant for each of those hidden services?
They probably didn't, but targeting specific services isn't that abhorrent to me, especially the ones engaged in highly unethical behavior (child porn, theft, scams). I don't think drug markets should be illegal, but that's a separate issue entirely.
