Tango Tor down – U.S. authorities take down world’s largest Deep Web host (and dose Tor with uncloaking malware)
Word has hit the streets that the FBI has arrested Eric Eoin Marquesm the alleged owner of Freedom Hosting, the largest Deep Web hosting platform on the planet. The arrest was made in Ireland with the takedown reportedly disrupting the entire Tor network which is, sadly, the home of the majority of all illegal online activity. It is also believed that in the process, the United States may have planted some sort of “virus” on many Onion websites. On the positive side, it is believed that by removing this single host from the Tor network, they have effectively removed “the majority of all child pornography online”.
