I don't think your fears are justified by the article. The first thing you read is a pull-out quote that says: >Tor is a well-designed and robust anonymity tool, and successfully attacking it is difficult. Maybe you're referring to: >The very feature that makes Tor a powerful anonymity service, and the fact that all Tor users look alike on the internet, makes it easy to differentiate Tor users from other web users. Your kind words about the Tor project are accurate, but they have never claimed that it's possible to reliably hide Tor use. The next sentence is: >On the other hand, the anonymity provided by Tor makes it impossible for the NSA to know who the user is, or whether or not the user is in the US. There is no Tor exploit or new information here. The NSA has enough resources to recognize Tor users in the USA enmasse, as well as single-out individual connections. From this point on, FoxAcid works the same whether you're using Tor or not.
