Russia Posts $110,000 Bounty For Cracking Tor's Privacy 98
hypnosec writes: The government of Russia has announced a ~$110,000 bounty to anyone who develops technology to identify users of Tor, an anonymising network capable of encrypting user data and hiding the identity of its users. The public description (in Russian) of the project has been removed now and it only reads "cipher 'TOR' (Navy)." The ministry said it is looking for experts and researchers to "study the possibility of obtaining technical information about users and users' equipment on the Tor anonymous network."

Transparency? Oh Ye of Little Cynicism.
They've already cracked TOR. This is the FSB attempting to convince Russia's dissidents that TOR is secure.
Yay interwebs.
