content: Nobody goes to prison because they trust Tor. Please name one person who was only caught because of a flaw in the Tor protocol or implementation in the official Tor binary. The reasons people who happen to use Tor get busted that I know of: Poor OPSEC - A guy who was at Occupy shared the fact he was arrested there. Narrowed down the list of subjects. He would disconnect from IRC (to which he connected through Tor) and leave his house immediately thereafter, while cops were watching both him and the IRC user - Silk Road guys were infiltrated, an admin was a cop - Kid who e-mailed bomb threats was using Tor from school    Vulnerabilities in other software - Silk Road guys had misconfigured server software/FBI hacked it - Tor Browser bundle had an exploitable version of firefox, NSA would man-in-the-middle post-exit node    This new attack method will not result in arrests, as is, though I do hope dummy traffic can be integrated as a precaution.
