If law enforcement can do it, then intelligence agencies and anyone with a similar budget can do it. I did not say there is an easy exploit available that anyone can use or that attacks have a 100% success probability.

First link: "The FBI didn’t have to break Tor; they just used conventional police mechanisms to get Kim to confess." Second link: "From the limited information The Tor Project has, we believe that one user of the long-retired application Ricochet was fully de-anonymized through a guard discovery attack. This was possible, at the time, because the user was using a version of the software that neither had Vanguards-lite, nor the vanguards addon, which were introduced to protect users from this type of attack. This protection exists in Ricochet-Refresh, a maintained fork of the long-retired project Ricochet, since version 3.0.12 released in June of 2022." Did you even read those links?
