Treasury Department blames Tor for increased cyberattacks

In a non-public report, the Department of Treasury revealed that an increasing number of hackers are using the Tor network to maintain their anonymity. Surprise surprise! After all,Tor is one of the biggest online anonymity services. So the government is suggesting (again) that blocking Tor would keep hackers away, though. And while that might be true, it’s also shady. The report came from the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN), a Treasury Department bureau responsible for analyzing financial crimes and whatnot.
