These attacks were known to the non-TOP-SECRET public
research groups at least 8 years ago. Tor Project Inc refused to
provide any notice of them to their userbase, and did nothing
to address the vulnerabilities.

Tor Project Inc people don't advertise these obvious vulnerabilties
because it would hurt their cushy $100+k/yr liberal retirement
cash cow if users ever found out and forked away from tor to
new networks that deploy anti-analysis defenses such as
fulltime chaff and other potential technologies.

Tor Project Inc's pattern of bad behaviour of putting its users at risk of harm
is as noticible as the traffic that tor's analytical adversaries have been
exploiting since before 2012.
