They'd also have logged the IP, which combined with a time will probably significantly narrow down the individual in question if you can also access telco records. Especially if inadvertently more information is also documented (such as a user agent).

Tor doesn't work for this kind of problem, unless you are significantly more technically savvy (and even then...) then the average smartphone user.
- Asraelite 6y agoI think you missed the point regarding Tor. I mean that for Tor to be compromised, a state actor would need to compromise on the order of dozens to hundreds of nodes simultaneously. The fact that Tor works shows that they are unable to do this, and so they would also be unable to simultaneously compromise dozens of checksum authorities. Nothing to do with using Tor for uploading checksums, I was just using it as an example.
