The Guardian the NSA has targeted the Tor network, a web browser that anyonymizes user activity. While the core security of the network has remained in place, according to The Guardian, the NSA has made it a priority to get through the network鈥檚 encryption, which afford users their privacy.
Why is this important? It might seem logical that the US government would be frustrated by a web browser like Tor, but for the NSA to have a PowerPoint presentation entitled 鈥淭or Stinks鈥 (the browser鈥檚 symbol is an onion) that purports the idea of cracking the site鈥檚 security shows the government's disregard for the users' privacy, critics say.
