I don't use Tor but I know many of you do. Maybe fact, maybe fiction.
The Tor Project is warning that its network – used by netizens to mask their identities on the internet – may be knocked offline in the coming days.
In a Tor blog post, project leader Roger "Arma" Dingledine said an unnamed group may seize Tor's directory authority servers before the end of next week. These servers distribute the official lists of relays in the network, which are the systems that route users' traffic around the world to obfuscate their internet connections' public IP addresses.
