Russian government offers huge reward for help unmasking anonymous Tor users
(PC World): http://www.pcworld.com/article/2458420/russian-government-offers-money-for-identifying-tor-users.html
"The Scientific Production Association for Special-Purpose
Equipment and Communications of the Russian Interior Ministry is
offering a contract for researching methods of obtaining technical
information about users and user equipment on the Tor anonymous
network, according to an entry on the Russian government's
procurement portal. It's not clear what Tor de-anonymization would
be used for, but the fact that the tender comes from the Russian
Ministry of Interior suggests that it could serve law enforcement
investigations."
