German news outlet Tagesschau reports that local law enforcement agencies have successfully targeted, tracked, and arrested four suspects in a single investigation. The outlaws used Tor to hide their identities and activities in managing a ransomware operation and hosting child sex abuse material (CSAM) on their servers.
And it was created without encryption be default (which was discussed at the time).
The argument was hardware couldn’t handle the load of encryption at the time. Hahahaha, riiiight.
